Amazon To Bring Cashierless Checkout Tech To 'Full-Size Grocery' Store
2021-06-16
[DAILYWIRE] In the latest setback for those seeking an increase in the federal minimum wage, Amazon announced that it will be opening its first full-size and fully operational grocery store, complete with "cashierless checkout technology" in Washington state.
But anybody that's left will be making $18 an hour.
This "Amazon Fresh" store will utilize what the Big Tech giant has dubbed, "Just Walk Out" technology, which means that you do not have to stop at a checkout register to pay for your items. Upon entry to the store, customers scan a QR code with their Amazon account details, while the store infrastructure tracks what is selected from the shelves. The customer can then leave, and Amazon will bill their account automatically.

"The new store will also allow for customers to use Amazon One to scan their palm or insert a credit or debit card linked to their Amazon account to enter the store," CNET reported.

According to the outlet, the "Amazon Fresh" store will open on June 17 at the marketplace at Factoria Square Mall in Bellevue, Washington. "It’ll also have Amazon package pickup and returns, Alexa kiosks and the Amazon One payment system, as well as traditional checkout registers if you want to pay for your groceries in the usual way," CNET added.

"Just Walk Out technology is made possible by a combination of computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning, and adds convenience to customers’ grocery shopping experience by giving them the option to come in, pick up what they want, and skip the checkout when they’re done," Amazon explained in a statement. "Anyone shopping at the new Amazon Fresh store can take advantage of the technology, which connects to customers’ Amazon account or credit card. Customers are prompted at the store’s entry gates to choose if they want to use Just Walk Out shopping or the traditional checkout lanes."

#2  Watch Amazon move into banking: your Amazon account will become your preferred account for debits, checking, savings.

Watch Amazon move into health: your Amazon account will become your medical chart and history, with prescriptions filled at Whole Foods Mind & Body and low-cost pay-as-you-go Amazon TelaDocs from India Nigeria and Costa Rica available 24/7

Watch Amazon move into EDS's turf, processing benefits and payroll for state local and federal government: your Amazon account will become your source for UBI, SS, SNAP, etc -- all of it rolled into one payment from one source, "AMAZ(I)N'!"

Welcome to USSA.
And your Republic's done.

#1  Make them open it up in San Francisco. We need the entertainment of watching their shelves being cleared by 'state' approved thieves.
