Amazon opens supermarket with no check outs

Though the unveiling will take place about a year later than the company originally planned, it will still be met with great intrigue because of the store’s unique technology that believes can. “It’s an interesting concept, and many have argued that Amazon is looking to partially reverse the increasing consumer trend to shop online”, said Hugh Fletcher, global head of consultancy and innovation at Salmon. It also has ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options.

“The coolness of the technology will undoubtedly get people to check it out”, he said. The technology behind it has been tested for one year.

Issues ahead of launch including the cameras not recognising different customers of similar builds (yeah, we know, we’re all fat to a computer) and children putting things on the highest shelf they can reach, not the correct one and confusing the system.

An Amazon employee manages inventory in the company’s line-free Seattle store days before the store’s public debut, in Seattle, Washington, U.S., January 18, 2018. Instead, it would just change the role of employees.

Amazon has stated that it has a number of plans for expansion but they will take some time to come into effect.
