Amazon is rolling out pay-by-palm technology at some Whole Foods grocery stores near its headquarters to make paying quicker and more convenient.
Amazon is rolling out pay-by-palm technology at some Whole Foods grocery stores near its headquarters to make paying quicker and more convenient.
The technology, called Amazon One, lets shoppers scan the palm of their hand and connect it to a credit card or Amazon account. After the initial set up, which Amazon says takes less than a minute, shoppers can scan their hand at the register to pay for groceries without having to open their wallets.
Amazon first launched the technology late last year and at the time said the technology could be used at stadiums, office buildings and other retailers. So far, Amazon hasn’t announced any takers. It has been put into use in several of its cashier-less stores and Amazon said it has signed up thousands of users, but didn’t provide a specific number.
Privacy experts have warned against the use by companies of biometric data, such as face or palm scans, because of the risk of it being hacked and stolen. Amazon said it keeps the palm images in a secure part of its cloud and doesn’t store the information on the Amazon One device. The company said shoppers can also ask for their information to be deleted at any time.
A Whole Foods store in Amazon's hometown of Seattle started using the technology on Wednesday. Seven additional Whole Foods locations in the area will have it installed in the coming months. Amazon declined to say if or when other locations might get it. There are about 500 Whole Foods stores across the country.

No thanks.
Yeah, probably not.
Black people of course won’t have to pay.
THAT ain't happening....
I don't shop there....but that is BS.
I haven’t been to Whole Foods for a long time, but if this ever makes it out to the one near me, I’m going to make a special visit to buy something so I can pay with a check.
Do they also have pay by forehead?
[Do they also have pay by forehead?]
Don’t know, but when they can let you pay by anus print, then I might shop.
Screw bio-metric bar coding. I’ll never succumb.
Not just NO,
But
OH H3LL NO !!
And I wonder how fast this technology can be connected to the new DUSD?
Mark of the Beast is not going to be an actual mark, chip, or tattoo. It is your dependence on the digital technology, heck you won’t even need your cellphone...
I guarantee you that Walmart target and all the shopping stores will follow suit ! You see that’s the plan that’s the reset button everybody’s talking about. A cashless society to keep the herd under control. Step out of line and you don’t get to eat you don’t get to buy you don’t get to sell you don’t get to exist. Be ready for the tattooed barcode on your wrist or on your forehead. I don’t think they’ll do the chip under the skin because people just don’t like needles or any type of surgery but a real quick simple tattoo with a barcode will do. People are skittish and don’t like any type of insert in the body. Too many complications with a chip under the skin I think it’ll be a tattoo.
Why don't they focus on really original data, like tattoo scans ?
I’m glad there isn’t a store near here.

They’re going to replace plastic with FLESH! FACT!
Amazon shortly will be starting Pay-by-DNA-sample.
we used to buy rotisserie chickens at WF because they didn’t brine the shite out of them like most everyone else, but then due to “covid” they instituted a single line, intermixing express checkout customers and customers with completely full baskets, so that someone with a single item would have to wait 30 minutes to checkout ... we bailed and then found that King Soopers had BETTER COOKED (not dried out), BIGGER, TASTIER, and CHEAPER rotisserie chickens than WF (with their usual dozen self-checkout lanes) ... we’ve never been back to a WF and never will ...
Revelation Chapter 13
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Just awesome. Now thieves will be hacking off hands so they can load up at the nearest Whole Paycheck...
