The revolution here isn't self-checkout. In my country most stores already have that, which means all social interaction is eliminated already. So your argument is less about Amazon Go and more about self-checkout. The revolution is that you don't need to scan any items yourself or do anything at all. Just pick your items and go out.
- devoply 9y agoThe revolution is more about Amazon getting into grocery shopping. What they are hoping to do with this concept is to create an automated store that can be supplied via there warehouses. So that with minimum effort they can run grocery storefronts all over the United States and take over that business as well.
- pacaro 9y agoThe revolution is in how you spend your time. On an ordinary day when you know what you want for lunch, it can take under a minute to pop in and get it, under 10 seconds if you’re in a hurry.
- ballenarosada 9y agonone of these things are a "revolution"
- pacaro 9y agoYeah, revolution is definitely hyperbole, but from experience it does change the way you think about “popping into a store” because it really can take so little time. This can be both good and bad; you can pick up lunch in a hurry without that frustrating 5 minutes waiting to pay, but on the other hand you can also pick up a chocolate chip cookie between meetings far far too easily.
