Not often, because I can look at the prices of things as I buy them. Unlike here.
- noahtallen 7y agoIn the Amazon Go stores, there are still price labels on the shelves, if I recall correctly. Nothing stopping a retailer from doing that.

Do you think people whip out Excel and keep a running tally of every item in their carts?
