The idea isn't bad at all, it's just that I don't want to support Amazon furthermore. I mean it's a multi-millionaire company. They don't need our money for GROCERIES more than the small local businesses.
I'm more concerned about the lack of job opportunities if others followed in amazon's footsteps, self check out has already made big cuts in employment opportunities.
Do most people even enjoy those jobs? Money is a human construct, it does run the world currently. But surely there has to be an alternative lifestyle to most people doing jobs that they don’t truly like just to survive.
@@PeteS_1994 some people stay committed to a job as the money is consistent and job security is there and perhaps don't want to take the risk when bills have to be paid
So this is the future? COVID 19 has reduced human interaction, these shops will do the same. Human interaction is important, without it we become less than human. Imagine if all shops went this way, less jobs, less small businesses. Humans will be reduced to zombies staring at screens (well we are half way there already), and lastly, why is everyone in such a rush, we all need to slow down, life is short.
You said less jobs thats wrong, HCI (Human computer interaction) used in self service will create new jobs/less work. The thing is that yes it will be a problem if all stores do thst but 1. They won't yet 2. Slowing implementing it will be good just doing it fast might be bad.
Nah, I've been using scan and pack in sainsburys for years. It's far better than using the checkouts. That shop will probably have as many, or possibly more, staff for a shop of its size.

What happens if there’s no money in your Amazon account? Does an alarm go off as you walk out? Do you just basically steal your goods? How does that work.
I don’t get the privacy argument. EVERY supermarket has cameras on you all the time, except they’re usually manned by busy-bodies who want to see if you are up to no good. In a way, this is less obtrusive because the cameras are only on you to help you make a purchase. The fact that they’re able to charge you as you pick things up and walk out the store, as well as the fact you need an Amazon account to get in, almost eradicates the need for nosey shop assistants following you around and peering over your shoulder. As I’ve no intention of stealing, I know which I prefer.
They do to a large extent but as not as many and if they monitored that closely they would not be millions of pounds lost to shop lifting every month , also CCTV cameras stop working, computers do to, an incident at one supermarket not far away saw the system wipe about a month's worth of footage this meant footage of shop lifters and an assault were lost! If the internet goes down the tills will, here at contactless supermarkets like the one in the video any power or internet outage will means the shop will have to close.
We used to have market stalls, then it changed to greengrocers and butchers, then it changed to supermarkets, then hypermarkets and now we have online and technology controlled stores. Every step of the way people complained about change, every step of the way these places improve the convenience and reduced the time we have to spend shopping for everyday essentials. It's progresson. I do a lot of shopping on Amazon because it's competitively priced and far quicker to find what you want instead of walking/driving to 5 stores to get everything you need.

They couldn't of brought this out at a better time. Instead of queueing to leave the shop people are queueing to enter the shop. Of course everyone is used to having to queue outside the shop because of the lockdown. But this was not what we used to do prior. Amazon just normalised the queues outside the shops by making shopping faster and removing the tills. What is the difference really? They will not be able to have 100's of people in the store at the same time as they will not be able to monitor them all, so instead of queueing at the tills, we will be queueing at the front door if we decide to ship at the 'cashier less' Amazon Fresh!
They most likely will be able to monitor everyone though. China's Huawei surveillance systems can monitor hundreds of people on a crowded street in China using facial recognition, what's the difference here?
Wow, I would love to have this option . Mind you most times its nice to look somebody in the eyes and say hows things going to. The human factor is totally lost with self checkout. That is lost jobs to. I vote for people , sorry amazon
you could say the same thing about any other supermarket though. in fact, amazon fresh is probably more secure since there'd be security on site 24/7 whereas tesco only have security during rush hours
@@samfazers8818 except, you are constantly recorded here, more so than regular shops and if they try shop lifting they're in central cities, with lots of security, good luck trying.
Be specific, it's Ealing Broadway. It won't last. Students may use it but it will end up being full of security as people will use it for shop lifting. Not only that, but does it suffer the same bug it always had? People are lazy and pick up an item and then don't put it back where they found it, work in one and you know how annoying that is at the end of the day. If you don't put it back where you found it, it assume you still have it in your bag and will charge you. How long before that starts to be an issue, if it still is one.
they dont need to pay employers so there is more profit, companies like tesco or sainsburies may take advantage of this as much as they did with scan and go
@@johngower2208 Well, it's true. When I go shopping I look for items I want to buy and I take cost and convenience into account. I'm hardly gonna go around a shop wondering how you'd do things, just as you're not going to consider me when you shop.
they don't want to know. pleasure and convenience is what they want. Huxley said they would come to enjoy their slavery. he was right. I think it's time to take the road less travelled
@@intellectualhybrid2 There would be massive unemployment if everyone did that. Also, if they have their headquarters abroad, they could avoid paying taxes, resulting in huge losses to the country (that's us) in taxes.
This store is in breach of trading standards and disability primary legislation. It is clearly stated there are no tills, blind and visually impaired could not use this store. It is clearly illegal and discriminatory. This store must be closed and amazon fined 4 % Of turnover. There are around 28 million who are not on the Internet, low wage earners not on the Internet and only use cash. The collapse of payment systems is certain how much would the economy have to pay for big tech companies to bulldozer uk and European law.... What a disaster heading for the high Court based on an American failed culture
A supermarket without any staff will be a miserable experience. No more flirting with your favourite checkout lady! But also supermarkets have a duty to provide jobs to people. It shouldn’t be all about the money they make. I have a feeling that all supermarkets will eventually do this. I really don’t like the way things are heading in this world ATM.
Dominik There has to be a certain amount of jobs for unskilled workers. People need ‘unworthy’ jobs as you call them. Not everyone is capable of high skilled jobs.
Great move rivalling Tesco and Sainsbury’s. Soon both will be swallowed and bought out by Amazon similar to Whole Foods. We need more expansion of the Amazon store throughout the U.K. outnumbering it’s rivals. Post Brexit Britain will immensely benefit from this universal service of goods distribution within the network of Amazon.
@FlyingMonkies325 yes true, well I know asda does in some of its stores, I think you have to put your number in them though, I really can't be bothered doing all that, I just want to go in out shake it all about then f off home, my misanthropic mindset overrides any social procrastination
@FlyingMonkies325 also yes exactly not all people van afford a new device tbh you can get a phone for about £80 to £150 that will have ths amazon app, but still one needs WiFi and pay for battery power.
@FlyingMonkies325 why don't you think amazon go/fresh store will last? As a company maybe not, because they do sell a lot of Shyte, but tbf asda etc does to, I think if amazon lasts or does not, I think it won't stop the the technology like biometrics etc being used to pay or and identification, it is inevitable that it will be part of are life, no physical money
@FlyingMonkies325 I don't think these companies would want less customers, because certain people can't afford a phone, that don't make good business sense, a phone could cost a lot but still a person might have say £20 to £40 to spend on shopping, do if any if these stores won't allow anyone in if they don't have a phone etc, then it means they will obviously lose customers, the companies want as much money as they can take from people, so if one does not have enough cash to get a phone but enough cash to buy daily essentials, these companies will make it accessible for them customers.
@@arunavaghatak6281 Tax pays for infrastructure... stuff that society needs... Surplus value of Llabour is theft... that pays for ... well not a lot really, seeing as most of it is tied up in Financial Capital, doing very little.
@@hockeystick73 We don't need stolen money to build infrastructure. We can leave the job to private corporations. And surplus value of labour is not theft. It serves as an incentive for people to start new industries.
@@arunavaghatak6281 A few points... In the majority of cases, infrastructure is paid for by tax and would not be created by private companies independently. I would also argue that surplus value is a much better fit of the description 'theft' as it doesn't benefit the people who created it. While capital is used to start new developments, the primary motivation to create more capital is flawed as it fails to hold need as it's primary concern. And the spiralling and competative nature of Capitalism makes it more difficult to start and maintain a business over time. Interestingly, out of 200 countries in the world...only 16 now have a greater annual turnover than Amazon. This continual transfer of power is unlikely to end well (for us).
@@hockeystick73 "... as it fails to hold need as it's primary concern" Yeah. But how do you decide what the people are actually in need of ? This may sound trivial, but it's not. Deciding how to allocate resources based on people's needs is almost impossible because 1)The economy is too complex to plan centrally, 2) You can't attach exact numbers to people's needs (which you would need for allocating resources if you eliminate market prices). It's explained in this video : m.th-cam.com/video/7OQeSYgOars/w-d-xo.html
@FlyingMonkies325 but opening a **new** store has zero effect on people who already struggle with accessability. those people can still continue to shop how they used to. this literally doesn't change anything. your argument doesn't make any sense. it makes it better for 90%+ of the population though, so nearly everyone would agree that this is a good idea. the only valid argument you have is maybe the privacy issue, but to that i would say just go somewhere else? also get over yourself when you say that people can't afford mobile phones in the west. do you think this is some thrid world country? literally EVERYONE has phones, even crackheads and homeless people that i've seen around london, they all have phones. and again, even if they don't have phones and can't shop at the fancy new amazon fresh, they can just go to the thousand other supermarkets that exist lol you're making a problem where there is none
@FlyingMonkies325 'we don't need another supermarket'. unfortunately the economic forces of supply and demand will dictate what we need or what we do not need, you don't have control. if there is money to be made, then a company will swoop in and provide a product or service, so they can profit. this is why the free market works so well, it allows the consumer to control the market as a collective. this is why there will always be a place for poor people to go and buy food. it's because poor people still need to eat!! so that means there is economic demand, which in turn means that a company will provide the supply! don't worry, poor people will always have a place to go and buy food. and it's totally your choice to choose where to shop! also, i don't know why you keep referencing this mobile phone model stuff? if amazon found out that people can't access their stores due to not having a certain mobile phone model etc, they are incentivized to work on better technology so that more people can shop with them, and they can make more money. this is why the free markets are so powerful, and why the west is so rich!
lucky that we live in the west and you can make choices like this then! i agree with you, but i also like that amazon does cool little things to make our economies more efficient! :) let alone prime...
Something to avoid, tech only works when you don't need to return something, complain or any other kind of human interaction, advocating these places is creating a nightmare for future generations. Mr normy "Well we are already whipped and chained anyway so extra whippings per day hardly changes anything" These tech companies will make sure you wont feel the need for ANY kind of human interaction, millions of lonely sad people.
You and your smart phone are now one. From this point on you can NEVER leave home without it. Swap cash for this????? When all shops are like this, I start using the local market instead. CASH IS REAL & NOW
How does this work if you were a parent taking a child with you or someone as a carer taking someone shopping only one of them has an account for Amazon? How does the person who doesn’t have an Amazon account gain entry to the store?
i think this is a kind of question better suited for Google than the youtube comments section. my guess is that you can bring guests in, and the cameras are really clever! they know who is who
amazon wants a future where there are no or very little jobs for people and therefore more and more for Jeff and his friends. I don't want that kind of future. People need jobs and governments need to start realising that they are sowing the seeds for huge social and economic future problems which will result in more and more people becoming state dependent and ultimately huge amounts of poverty
that's where the Universal Basic Income comes in. This has all been planned. The groundwork is being laid as we speak. It's a controlled demolition. Don't for one moment think this is due to incompetence on behalf of the politicians. They are actors following the script. They are there to give us the illusion of choice. Democracy. There is no democracy. And all the while most people are sleepwalking into the nightmare
I was in the Canary Wharf store yesterday. It felt weird to be able to just take something of a shelf and put it into my backpack. I thought that the shelves themselves had weight sensors. And perhaps they still do. But I didn’t realize I was being tracked by cameras. I wonder if that’s all automated or if there is an actual person who keeps track of what I’m buying. The argument that “a few more cameras don’t matter” is not a very good one though. I mean, yes, it’s true, but at the same time, the current state should not be an argument. Instead we should think about what this kind of tracking actually means.
It's done using machine learning. It will figure out what you picked up and record it. It's just CCTV without the closed-circuit. Who knows what they do with the data
I don't like this concept at all. It's too robotic. Also the fact there is no checkouts doesn't sit well with me either. For some of the elderly who may be living in complete isolation, having a friendly 5 minute chat with the cashier may be the only conversation that person has for the entire day.. no cashiers, no chat.
You know where this is going right? Social crediting will come and if your a bad citizen you wont be able to go in because you'll be denied from your qr code.
this is unlikely. amazon has no incentive to restrict trade and deny themselves profits. the government also are not allowed to impose restrictions on who can and cannot enter private stores. you can visit china if you want that level of authority. please don't freak out and react negatively to this product. if you don't like it, for whatever reason, then take your business elsewhere, but don't spew nonsense political bullshit about totalitarianism and social credit. you're pathetic.
The technology is a blueprint for the biometric surveillance we will all be subject to before long. Until this tech moves out of the stores and onto the streets, Amazon will no longer have just the shopping habits of their customers but also 3D biometric recognition model. This will be normalised as a business practice, and for what? So we dont have to speak to a cashier? I hope future generations will forgive us.
I don't know if you've noticed but the large stores have staff trained to deal happily with customers. The staff at checkout are trained to say hello and be friendly (yes even here in the UK!). Next time you enter a small independent shop take note of what the staff member does. I can bet they look you up and down with a serious face before turning away as though you're crap on their shoe. I feel like saying, do you even want my money..?! I'd rather shop in large stores, I have a happier experience every time
Most of these large companies started as small businesses. The problem isn't the size of the firm nor who runs it but the firm itself and why it exists.
People will find a way to not get charged with the things you've bought. Edit: WHY IS IT £4 FOR ONE PIZZA I COULD TO ICELAND GET IT FOR AROUND £1.50-£2.50.

So instead of multiple staff at a supermarket there is hardly any staff. Not good for the community.
What’s stopping someone jumping the barrier or going under it like people do on the train
Umm security and staff
@@ameerali.ouarda yeh cause that stops chavs lol
you could say the same thing about any other supermarket though. in fact, amazon fresh is probably more secure since there'd be security on site 24/7 whereas tesco only have security during rush hours
@@samfazers8818 same with tesco tho
@@samfazers8818 except, you are constantly recorded here, more so than regular shops and if they try shop lifting they're in central cities, with lots of security, good luck trying.
they can prevent shoplifting :D
im wondering if its possible to live on amazon online food?or am i better off ordering from asda?
Unless you’re trying to shoplift. Why would you need privacy when shopping?
Be specific, it's Ealing Broadway. It won't last. Students may use it but it will end up being full of security as people will use it for shop lifting. Not only that, but does it suffer the same bug it always had? People are lazy and pick up an item and then don't put it back where they found it, work in one and you know how annoying that is at the end of the day. If you don't put it back where you found it, it assume you still have it in your bag and will charge you. How long before that starts to be an issue, if it still is one.
The items have trackers as long as the item is not detected outside the store nobody would be charged
I like the idea ... except ehos gonna stop shop lifters...
Putting people out of jobs but keeping price down with less wages to pay
What about Halal and Haram?
Privacy concerns - YES!! Not to mention all the jobs lost - you pay the same for your groceries, but you do all the work.
they dont need to pay employers so there is more profit, companies like tesco or sainsburies may take advantage of this as much as they did with scan and go
Who cares nobody will shop in Amazon Fresh anyways it's like a Sainsbury's

@@johngower2208 Well, it's true. When I go shopping I look for items I want to buy and I take cost and convenience into account. I'm hardly gonna go around a shop wondering how you'd do things, just as you're not going to consider me when you shop.

@@intellectualhybrid2 they'll be using advanced machine learning software from a third party.
This store is in breach of trading standards and disability primary legislation. It is clearly stated there are no tills, blind and visually impaired could not use this store. It is clearly illegal and discriminatory. This store must be closed and amazon fined 4 %
Of turnover. There are around 28 million who are not on the Internet, low wage earners not on the Internet and only use cash.

More job cuts
A supermarket without any staff will be a miserable experience. No more flirting with your favourite checkout lady! But also supermarkets have a duty to provide jobs to people. It shouldn’t be all about the money they make. I have a feeling that all supermarkets will eventually do this. I really don’t like the way things are heading in this world ATM.
Part of the great reset
Why should there be a duty to offer low-wage jobs for them? It is a progress for humanity to havent to do such unworthy jobs anymore.
Dominik There has to be a certain amount of jobs for unskilled workers. People need ‘unworthy’ jobs as you call them. Not everyone is capable of high skilled jobs.
@@teleaddict23 but thats not our purpose for life imo
welcome to the wal e simulation
Great move rivalling Tesco and Sainsbury’s. Soon both will be swallowed and bought out by Amazon similar to Whole Foods. We need more expansion of the Amazon store throughout the U.K. outnumbering it’s rivals. Post Brexit Britain will immensely benefit from this universal service of goods distribution within the network of Amazon.
@FlyingMonkies325 it will reduce certain crime, tbh I think they should just use facial recognition then you don't need to any phone or app
@FlyingMonkies325 yes true, well I know asda does in some of its stores, I think you have to put your number in them though, I really can't be bothered doing all that, I just want to go in out shake it all about then f off home, my misanthropic mindset overrides any social procrastination
@FlyingMonkies325 also yes exactly not all people van afford a new device tbh you can get a phone for about £80 to £150 that will have ths amazon app, but still one needs WiFi and pay for battery power.
@FlyingMonkies325 why don't you think amazon go/fresh store will last? As a company maybe not, because they do sell a lot of Shyte, but tbf asda etc does to, I think if amazon lasts or does not, I think it won't stop the the technology like biometrics etc being used to pay or and identification, it is inevitable that it will be part of are life, no physical money
@FlyingMonkies325 I don't think these companies would want less customers, because certain people can't afford a phone, that don't make good business sense, a phone could cost a lot but still a person might have say £20 to £40 to spend on shopping, do if any if these stores won't allow anyone in if they don't have a phone etc, then it means they will obviously lose customers, the companies want as much money as they can take from people, so if one does not have enough cash to get a phone but enough cash to buy daily essentials, these companies will make it accessible for them customers.
No jobs...no tax contributions...but hey...tasty sandwiches.
Taxation is theft.
@@arunavaghatak6281 Tax pays for infrastructure... stuff that society needs... Surplus value of Llabour is theft... that pays for ... well not a lot really, seeing as most of it is tied up in Financial Capital, doing very little.
@@hockeystick73 We don't need stolen money to build infrastructure. We can leave the job to private corporations. And surplus value of labour is not theft. It serves as an incentive for people to start new industries.
@@arunavaghatak6281 A few points...
In the majority of cases, infrastructure is paid for by tax and would not be created by private companies independently.
I would also argue that surplus value is a much better fit of the description 'theft' as it doesn't benefit the people who created it.
While capital is used to start new developments, the primary motivation to create more capital is flawed as it fails to hold need as it's primary concern.
And the spiralling and competative nature of Capitalism makes it more difficult to start and maintain a business over time.
Interestingly, out of 200 countries in the world...only 16 now have a greater annual turnover than Amazon.
This continual transfer of power is unlikely to end well (for us).
@@hockeystick73 "... as it fails to hold need as it's primary concern"
Yeah. But how do you decide what the people are actually in need of ? This may sound trivial, but it's not. Deciding how to allocate resources based on people's needs is almost impossible because 1)The economy is too complex to plan centrally, 2) You can't attach exact numbers to people's needs (which you would need for allocating resources if you eliminate market prices). It's explained in this video :
m.th-cam.com/video/7OQeSYgOars/w-d-xo.html
I for one welcome our new overlords !
It’s overpriced and one store advisor wouldn’t move form his spot in the shop when I called for help...
@FlyingMonkies325 but opening a **new** store has zero effect on people who already struggle with accessability. those people can still continue to shop how they used to. this literally doesn't change anything. your argument doesn't make any sense.
it makes it better for 90%+ of the population though, so nearly everyone would agree that this is a good idea. the only valid argument you have is maybe the privacy issue, but to that i would say just go somewhere else?
also get over yourself when you say that people can't afford mobile phones in the west. do you think this is some thrid world country? literally EVERYONE has phones, even crackheads and homeless people that i've seen around london, they all have phones. and again, even if they don't have phones and can't shop at the fancy new amazon fresh, they can just go to the thousand other supermarkets that exist lol
you're making a problem where there is none
@FlyingMonkies325 'we don't need another supermarket'. unfortunately the economic forces of supply and demand will dictate what we need or what we do not need, you don't have control. if there is money to be made, then a company will swoop in and provide a product or service, so they can profit. this is why the free market works so well, it allows the consumer to control the market as a collective.
this is why there will always be a place for poor people to go and buy food. it's because poor people still need to eat!! so that means there is economic demand, which in turn means that a company will provide the supply! don't worry, poor people will always have a place to go and buy food. and it's totally your choice to choose where to shop!
also, i don't know why you keep referencing this mobile phone model stuff? if amazon found out that people can't access their stores due to not having a certain mobile phone model etc, they are incentivized to work on better technology so that more people can shop with them, and they can make more money. this is why the free markets are so powerful, and why the west is so rich!
Nah, thx. For me, 80% of going out for shopping is engaging with other human beings. I enjoy the occasional banter and even small talk.
lucky that we live in the west and you can make choices like this then! i agree with you, but i also like that amazon does cool little things to make our economies more efficient! :) let alone prime...

How does this work if you were a parent taking a child with you or someone as a carer taking someone shopping only one of them has an account for Amazon? How does the person who doesn’t have an Amazon account gain entry to the store?

This will be main dream end of this decade, automation and ai is fully taking over, most labor jobs will be completely obsolete. Ubi will be necessity
amazon wants a future where there are no or very little jobs for people and therefore more and more for Jeff and his friends. I don't want that kind of future. People need jobs and governments need to start realising that they are sowing the seeds for huge social and economic future problems which will result in more and more people becoming state dependent and ultimately huge amounts of poverty
that's where the Universal Basic Income comes in. This has all been planned. The groundwork is being laid as we speak. It's a controlled demolition. Don't for one moment think this is due to incompetence on behalf of the politicians. They are actors following the script. They are there to give us the illusion of choice. Democracy. There is no democracy. And all the while most people are sleepwalking into the nightmare
I was in the Canary Wharf store yesterday. It felt weird to be able to just take something of a shelf and put it into my backpack. I thought that the shelves themselves had weight sensors. And perhaps they still do. But I didn’t realize I was being tracked by cameras. I wonder if that’s all automated or if there is an actual person who keeps track of what I’m buying.
The argument that “a few more cameras don’t matter” is not a very good one though. I mean, yes, it’s true, but at the same time, the current state should not be an argument. Instead we should think about what this kind of tracking actually means.
You are probably already tracked by your smartphone and social media
It's done using machine learning. It will figure out what you picked up and record it. It's just CCTV without the closed-circuit. Who knows what they do with the data
Dream store for every introvert out there 😂
i wonder, what if your card decline
I don't like this concept at all. It's too robotic. Also the fact there is no checkouts doesn't sit well with me either. For some of the elderly who may be living in complete isolation, having a friendly 5 minute chat with the cashier may be the only conversation that person has for the entire day.. no cashiers, no chat.
You know, there is a place called the pub...
youd get rushed if you walk out of Tesco like that :D
You know where this is going right? Social crediting will come and if your a bad citizen you wont be able to go in because you'll be denied from your qr code.
Good.
Don't be a muppet 😁😉
Slippery Slope is one hell of a drug 🤥
this is unlikely. amazon has no incentive to restrict trade and deny themselves profits. the government also are not allowed to impose restrictions on who can and cannot enter private stores. you can visit china if you want that level of authority.
please don't freak out and react negatively to this product. if you don't like it, for whatever reason, then take your business elsewhere, but don't spew nonsense political bullshit about totalitarianism and social credit. you're pathetic.
Well, just be a good person and you have nothing to worry about. This is good for society, more well behaved people.
I do it all the time in Tesco anyway so what's the fuss about 👀

The technology is a blueprint for the biometric surveillance we will all be subject to before long. Until this tech moves out of the stores and onto the streets, Amazon will no longer have just the shopping habits of their customers but also 3D biometric recognition model. This will be normalised as a business practice, and for what? So we dont have to speak to a cashier? I hope future generations will forgive us.
This won't work when the store is overcrowded and people are busy misplacing items.
Wonder how it works if identical twins go in at the same time wearing the same clothes
Well each one has a different QR code OBVIOUSLY and it follows them around every millisecond. So it knows who is who

Stop shoping in big stores try supporting small business
I don't know if you've noticed but the large stores have staff trained to deal happily with customers. The staff at checkout are trained to say hello and be friendly (yes even here in the UK!).
Next time you enter a small independent shop take note of what the staff member does. I can bet they look you up and down with a serious face before turning away as though you're crap on their shoe. I feel like saying, do you even want my money..?!
I'd rather shop in large stores, I have a happier experience every time
Most of these large companies started as small businesses. The problem isn't the size of the firm nor who runs it but the firm itself and why it exists.
🤣🤣
Can I use the store as a tourist? I visit London from Germany.
It’s great for people on a lunch break
