  One can't enter without authenticating with an identity, so steal all you want, and you'll be "billed" later, like by the police, i imagine.

  I think I remember seeing (from the initial wave of news) that they tell you not to intentionally try to obfuscate or trick the system, but if you pick up a product and it doesn't correctly track it, it's yours (but you should report it so they can improve tracking).

  Not sure what these gangs are going to do with convenience store items. As far as I can tell, there is no cash or even a register.

  The busier the Amazon Go store the more employees are on-site. The one in the West Loop is right next to the trains and sees a lot of traffic during rush hour. So they have 4+ employees just standing around watching people. The ones at random locations in the loop aren't as busy - so only have a couple employees in those stores. Actually I think it's weird that Amazon has so many employees in Go stores. You'd think they'd just need 1 person to stock things and call the police if someone jumps over the gate without scanning their phone. Every time I see a group of their employees standing around I want to ask "why haven't any of you been replaced by robots yet?"
