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.

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 Every time I see a group of their employees standing around I want to ask "why haven't any of you been replaced by robots yet?"
