    New Stores with no Checkout Lines: Just Walk Out

    Amazon is Introducing New Stores with No Lines, No Checkout at All
    Just Take What You Want and Walk Out



    What is Amazon Go?
    Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology so you never have to wait in line. With our Just Walk Out Shopping experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout. (No, seriously.)


    How does Amazon Go work?
    Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our Just Walk Out technology automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in a virtual cart. When you’re done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.


    How big is the store?
    Our roughly 1,800 square feet of retail space is conveniently compact so busy customers can get in and out fast.


    What do I need to get started?
    All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.


    Why did you build Amazon Go?
    Four years ago we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no lines and no checkout? Could we push the boundaries of computer vision and machine learning to create a store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go and Just Walk Out Shopping.


    So I can just shop normally?
    Yes! Just browse and shop like you would at any other store. Then you’re on your way. No lines, no checkout.


    What can I buy at Amazon Go?
    We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of grocery essentials ranges from staples like bread and milk to artisan cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, with all the ingredients you need to make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.


    Where is Amazon Go located?
    Our store is located at 2131 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street.


    When can I visit Amazon Go?
    Amazon Go is currently open to Amazon employees in our Beta program, and will open to the public in early 2017. Click below to get notified when we open.

    For now, Amazon is starting slow. The first store is only open to Amazon employees and will not be an option for the general public until early next year.

    If you don't want something, you have to put it back where it was or you get charged for it. Only allowed in if you have the app on your phone.

    Another mark of a tyrant is that he likes foreigners better than citizens, and lives with them and invites them to his table; for the one are enemies, but the Others enter into no rivalry with him. - Aristotle's Politics Book 5 Part 11

    How do they intend to keep the unfunded out?

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an
    Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

    Oh, $#@!. I never do that. I fancy myself a job creator when I leave crap all over the store.
