Amazon Launches Amazon Go Checkout-free Store in Chicago
The retail major Amazon is all set to launch the next Amazon Go checkout-free store in Chicago. The new cashierless store will start operating today which is the first to open outside of Seattle.
With this opening, the store will make use of proprietary technology made up of hundreds of cameras and sensors to see what customers have taken. The Just Walk Out tech allows customers to swipe in with their Amazon Go app, pick up what they want and walk out.
When they leave, the items are automatically charged to the credit card on the account, without the need to talk to a cashier or swipe a barcode. This is really a convenient and time-saving method of shopping. With this move, the customers now won’t have to stand in the queue and wait for their turn to pay for their items.
