Years ago I went into one of these Amazon stores in an airport to get a water or soda or whatever. It amazed me that it was able to detect what I pulled off the shelf and charge me the correct amount.

Of course now I realize it was about as phony as a Jeff Bezos hairdo.

Funny!

But you might want to include a “bad language” warning for some people (not me)

I believe that’s an Isaac Asimov story.🤔

What keeps anyone without an Amazon account from walking into store, loading up on food and taking off.... haven’t the grab and go gangs figured this out yet?

Story posted here yesterday:

“...Just over half of Amazon Fresh stores are equipped with Just Walk Out. The technology allows customers to skip checkout altogether by scanning a QR code when they enter the store. Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped...”

You mean this isn’t true? Just cannot believe anything you read any more!
