I believe correctable pens solve this issue. Wipebook ( http://www.wipebook.com ) did a short video comparing correctable vs. dry-erase vs. non-permanent pens: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m-hE6VDAG_I It demonstr

I don't know why but I think the turn-styles that identify customers as they enter will help alleviate some of these concerns. Additionally I think if they distributed Amazon Go branded shopping bags in the store it would also help. I&
