Inside The First Amazon Go Store
Рет қаралды 560,397
6 жыл бұрынHere's what it's like inside Amazon's cashier-less store. Amazon Go has no checkout lines, cashiers, or registers. The store is located in Seattle, right near Amazon's campus.
They sell prepared foods and grocery staples. There's also a small selection of beer and wine.
You use the Amazon Go app to enter the store.
Here's how the entire process works.
Customers enter the turnstiles by scanning a QR code. Anything you pick up is added to your virtual cart. Any items you put back will automatically be removed from your cart. Once you finished shopping, you can walk right out.
No cashier needed. Your Amazon account will automatically be charged.
But how does Amazon make sure no one steals anything?
Amazon Go uses cameras and high-tech sensors. The combination of cameras and sensors keeps track of where the items are located. However, the technology isn't perfect, as some KZfaqrs have proven.
Currently, Seattle is Amazon Go's pilot location.
Will walk in and walk out stores be the future of retail?

The roll out of this platform countrywide would be met with stiff resistance. If Jeff Bezos thought that by acquiring Whole Foods, if he thought he now has the biggest grocery chain to explore this on a wider scale, he is wrong. Protests will cripple his ambitions and lawmakers would be forced to deal with him. This is just a bad idea. The Occupy Movement will return.

Yeah Amazon is taking over the world. Jeff Bezos in 1995 created a website called Amazon.com in his garage . Just stated selling books. Shows what 1 guy can do if he works at it instead of all the time watching youtube videos, TV , news, politics , sports, media etc. Which is what what we are doing watching youtube while Bezos, Zuckerberg, Bill Gates,Oprah, etc. are working. So that's the difference. All of these started out poor or middle class not rich. now all are billionaires. Bezoz is on track to become the first Trillionaire ever. It's not about what coler you are that you are a woman or a man etc. i believe if someone else did it so can i and anyone .it's all about working at it 18 hours a day or sitting watching news and yotuube and being poor waiting for a robot to take your minimum wage job.
