all the thugs enter, gather what they want, run away, and their EBT cards get billed!
I see this as making people even more lazy then they are.
Waiting for this to be put in all central minority urban centers “food deserts” and then enjoy watching the outcome.
Amazon is a horizontally integrated tax avoidance megalopoly.
Amazon has become the root of all evil, hate them and the slave driver bozo bezos. He should have stuck with books!
So what happens to the folks who do not put the item back in the original spot should they choose not to buy the item?
Everyone sees items misplaced all over the store from customers changing their minds or realize they don’t have the cash...
Does Amazon accept EBT? :}
Wow. Cool. How it handle people who tear open the package, eat a handful of whatever is inside, and then put it back on the shelf?
Why? So I have to go back to where I found it and put it back?
If I am going shopping I want to shop. Not be trailed around, micromanaged and observed. If I wanted easier shopping, I would shop off of a computer.
I have pretty much ended my shopping at Amazon.
With the internet of things, grocery shopping should be done as follows:
1. Refrigerator notices the milk carton is telling it that it only has 1/4 left (user adjustable threshold) and the hamburger is down to one half pound.
2. Refrigerator sends message, via your account on the internet, to local amazon food store (which is a non-descript box on a cheap piece of real estate and two parking spaces for the guys that ensure it keeps functioning).
3. Robotics within the facility load the items onto a self driving delivery vehicle along with other orders within your vicinity.
4. Vehicle shows up at your home and pulls up to a robotic access door/corridor on the side of the house and places the items on a conveyor belt inside the open door.
5. Items are placed within the refridgerator via the robotics in this corridor.
6. You see the bill on your credit card. You haven’t purchased food directly yourself for years, except for gas-burgers.
Like I do at Walmart only not having to use the self-checkout scanners. Except, this is better because Amazon?

I’ve already used cashier-less technology at Home Depot. It’s going to happen
Next up for Amazon, artificial customers to spend the money the newly unemployed no longer have.
If automation is decreasing the number of jobs, then it is morally necessary to end immigration and deport those here without permission to that there are more jobs per capita for the legitimate population.
It’s just the market sending a message that, at an unreasonable wage, you’re going to be replaced by something less expensive. If labor had scaled its demands back to something for reasonable, how many jobs now done by robots in the auto industry would have been filled with skilled humans living in America? If the steel workers had reasonable wage demands, perhaps that industry could have modernized and competed effectively with the cheaper steel coming from Japan. After all, we bombed their steel industry into oblivion in WWII and they replaced it with new technology while we limped along with 1890’s plants topped with crippling wage demands.
Still, people don’t get it and choose to ignore the lessons of history, despite the fact that history is strewn with the same wreckage time-after-time. Stupid...
The worst part of the grocery shopping experience is waiting in long lines to check out!!! These store will still need to have receivers to check in the trucks with products and people to stock the shelves they will still need produce people, meat cutters, bakers ect. however the checkout process WILL BE GONE!!! The checkers when I grew up actually EARNED their money those ladies on those registers were AMAZING!!! Now all they do is slide the item across a scanner and most still make about 20.00 an hour plus benefits!!! After they went on strike during the holiday season about 14 years ago they actually lost ALL FULL time positions most checkers now work about 24-32 hours a week and this LOST them ALOT of the benefits that go with a full time position!!! These idiots let the unions put them on strike over the holidays and they GAINED NOTHING lost DAMNED near EVERYTHING!! This past year the unions were threatening a strike WE were ALL conniving how we were going to cross the lines by working in different stores so we weren’t recognized by our STUPID coworkers standing outside on the line we were VERY lucky people STOOD UP and voted NO WAY!!! Jobs today are just to hard to come by and MOST people want and NEED to work!!!!
Will not survive first contract with the Trump Administration’s antitrust division.
(Tried to kneecap him with your WaPo....now, reap the whirlwind, Bezos)
Another luddite story about how technology is going to make us all destitute. If you don’t like cashierless stores, then frequent the ones with cashiers.
