The new capability enables cashierless shopping for softline goods like clothing, fan gear, hats and shoes.
Dive Brief:
Continuing to enhance its retail tech, Amazon is adding radio-frequency identification to its Just Walk Out tech, the company announced Tuesday. The company partnered with Avery Dennison, an RFID sensor and digital identification tech provider, to add the capability.
At locations using the technology, shoppers can take their desired items, each of which has a unique RFID tag, and pay as they pass through an exit gate using their debit or credit cards or by scanning their hand at an Amazon One terminal.
The new RFID capability enables consumers to shop for apparel, fan gear, shoes and other soft goods. Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology is already available in more than 70 Amazon stores and 85 third-party retailers.

I am posting this because Fix News just had a segment on a new RFID system (self-checkout) at a store. I don't have the video yet.
RFID tag: 4 cents cost to consumer. Fox News was all giddy to pay for the convenience.
I told folks it was coming and that the price would come down substantially. (RFID tagging)
And here we are. So this is an article where I hope to add the Fox News segment (hopefully someone can find it).
Bluetooth may be coming too for tagging one article says.
Hopefully someone can ping more
I’m not in the computer but the phone 📱📱📱 so please pardon any typos
No one is required to shop at Amazon
Walmart should have this on their out door scanners. A tagged item goes through the door it is scanned if it has been purchased. If not a close by reader tags any smart card near it and logs the purchase.
Obligatory Revelation 13 reference: :-)
16 He causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one may buy or sell, except he who has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name.
FRegards & Blessings!
Is the RFID a permanent part of the product so they can use it to track your movements any time you wear it and pass a scanner?
I added Conspiracy (LOL 🤣) - some may not realize where all of this cool technology will lead ( and it IS cool)
That is, until you’re shut down for improper think
Like when Comrade Justin Trudeau shut down
Canadian Truckers over COVID-19(84)
🚨🚨🚨🚨😧😧😧😳😳😳
It is my guess that this will spread to virtually all retail
The Fox News segment was about a different retailer and system
This is just the first article in a thread to add that to
I predict that will come to reduce their massive theft losses
RFID tag attached to retail sticker / tag
Then I don’t understand jow this is new technology. They haven’t used it for scanning prices and charging your account on your way out the door, but they have used it to sound an alarm when you walk out the door without paying.
Those are theft tags.
These are pricing tags that eliminate individual scanning of items by the consumer.
In the Fox News segment, a container of merchandise is placed in a Point of Sale bucket at checkout and everything is scanned when you push a digital button on the screen.
Much quicker check out.
IBM had this 15 years ago at the door - a whole shopping cart and instant payment.
They just had to bring RFID tag prices down.
Theft tags are not unique to each item - like the ones they’d attach to more pricey clothing.
Amazon has whole-cart scanning at their Just Walk Out stores now - at least some of them
Pinged to all lists................
San Fransicko and L.A. have had this for quite a while now...............
“No one is required to shop at Amazon”
Said by those that fail to understand the dynamics of situations. Usually said by those that love Big Government intrusions.
Said by one who draws false conclusions
The technology has been around for 20 years or more. I’ve been wondering when it would trickle down to retail sales. Eliminate cashiers and self checkouts. Just choose your merch and take it home. Chips read on the way out and account debited automatically.
Do hoodrats have accounts?
I don’t use Amazon. It is easy to order directly from companies. I don’t want to help fund Big Tech’s digital enslavement of mankind and future MOTB system.
