And you haven't seen anything yet. Today I shopped at Amazon Go. That's the store where you go, pick items from the shelf, and leave, and Amazon directly charges your account. You don't need to scan anything, Amazon has some type of computer-vision-based system that figures out what you took, what you put back, and charges you appropriately.
I have no doubt that one day Amazon will roll this system to Whole Foods. The day this will happen is the day the Apocalypse starts for all brick-and-mortar retailers in the US.
- colinmhayes 4y agoAmazon has already rolled out the go tech at a few Whole Foods in d.c. funnily enough my parents don’t like to shop there, they claim to like the small talk with the cashier.
