This is the first ever store to open. Obviously there’s going to be an ass load of people. Would you be surprised if there was a long line for a new restaurant opening?
they literally said in the vid that the number of people in the store is LIMITED BY THE FIRE CODE. That fire code would ALSO APPLY to the big-box grocery stores that are able to house more people in them due to their sheer size. Give it some time and they'll have bigger stores with a lower proportion of the 'let's check this out' crowd ultimately entirely getting rid of the line out the door you see on their first day!
There is no theft to talk about. Once you download the app and scan at entrance to be allowed in, you are known and anything you pick up and exit the store will be charged to you.
Derek Shelby once you do that, it becomes obvious that you came to shoplift and people preparing sandwiches at the back will pounce as an lock the store doors. What I'd there in someone at the secret room looking for people who just do that. The moment you jump, an alarm sounds and the doors automatically lock.
Mthwakazian Mthwakazian you can't lock the store doors that's a fire hazard. Any obstacle blocking exit to a facility is illegal. You haven't thought this through. You assume people would only shop alone. Maybe you are alone. Maybe you don't have a kids. Maybe you have never shopped with a friend or family member. A group of people can enter the store with only one smart phone. Are people allowed to shop with their children? Or do they have to have smart phones too? You can scan.your phone and let in a few people when the gates open. You hadn't thought of that??
Can i find more info on the "Skynet" by just googling. A ai chat-bot brought that up once a few years ago... but so far i only know it as a drum & bass producer or smth alike.
+Anton 99 you're an idiot and you're saying nothing of substance. fact is cashier is a shitty low paid job no one wants, and no one wants to wait in line in stores either.
SheikhBasharAlAssad I think we all can say what you've said is true, but replacing people with machines won't necessarily decrease time wasted in a store or get people out faster. The funny thing is stores who have machines to do the work still have workers there to oversee and help customers with their transactions. Nothing worse than grandparents taking 10 minutes to buy a couple products. Hopefully over MULTIPLE generations this will decrease and user machine operation will improve
I have a question, let's say you put a debit card in your account. You only have about 5.00 dollars on your debt. How would it know that you're taking to much and prevent you from stealing? Normally a cashier would say your card is declined. Will there be something that stops you from leaving?
How quickly will they open more store... ? gee.. give them a break... they just opened the very first one in North America ! people really... the answers were smarter than the questions... poor guy ... trying to be positive.... thanks Spencer !
My local walmart just started this but without your personal phone. Just walk in, get a scan & go scanner, scan your items as you shop, pay at self checkout and leave.
This will disrupt the convenience store market for sure but it caters to the same people who frequent Whole Foods and fresh market. People who have money. You won’t be grocery shopping here.
It doesn't look like a person could do their full weekly grocery shopping there. There are not any carts to use. It would seem that you can only buy what fits in a bag. The store is on a main street with what appears to be no parking, and you have to wait in line to get in the store. I can't see this taking over the large grocery store chains.
Not yet... Frankly I wouldn’t want this technology to take over the Supermarket. Imagine if you were shopping with your kids. They’ll fill up their pockets with candy without you knowing it.
Amazon only charges the person who came to the store with app. So if someone handed lets say a sandwich to you, that person who handed it to you is charged to you
Cashier jobs are soon to be a thing of the past, so very sad! Kroeger Foods & WalMart are both going that way, thousands of jobs will be lost! Cashiers are not the only positions being replaced. Retail, warehouses, office workers all in for a rude awakening.
Wait in line, to not wait in line lol. I love the idea of this though! Checkout is the worst part of any shopping experience. "folks to prevent theft" WTF lady. You cant get in without scanning. Theft is LESS of an issue. I am going to try it out on wednesday!
I wonder if Amazon tested their new store for "shoplifting." I mean, is it even possible to steal something when you have to have an app tied to your credit card to enter the store in the first place?
So what about the people that accompany you while you shop. I assume people still shop with their children. Do they have to have a smartphone too? What about a friend that comes with me? Can I scan my phone to let them in and let them steal whatever they want? This isn't going to work.
Maybe in the future, electro-credits will be assigned persons based on the number of calories they burn? And then it will be quite evident who is working, and who not? Girls on treadmills should make out like bandits. Also, Mexican migrant workers. ... "working on my fitness" - Fergie. But like the lie detector test - will the general public accept the science, the readings? "The computer is wrong..." I wonder if people who do a lot of thinking, consume copious amounts of sugar? Y'know, because does not the brain burn calories, too?
Make 1% top people more rich.get rid of jobs , who cares about socializing.since smartphones are our best friends. Where the humanity is going... scary
Soon everybody will be out of jobs don't be too existed think long term don't be fooled and how people will support them selves.... etc even reporters:) there are reason for human not machines.
People can be blind. Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Lost. FAST FOOD COOKS OUT =Job Lost = Millions of peopls = Another Recession folks. Uber Car Robots Job Lost= Millions of people's= Another Recession folks. Y well, when labor cost is higher than the cost of Capital The Devil speaks of Greed.
d1ngleb3rry And to tell you truth, it's not really a party for people who are concerned about losing their jobs and having data collected on them. So... big whoop.
Glad to see human being prepared sandwiches not the robot 😀
Wait for 5 years and you will be in for a surprise.
SWAPAN JAIN the way is tech is going it will probably be less than that.
They look like they've never prepared shit except their pencil holders before.
ROBOTS WON'T SPIT OR SNEEZE ON YOUR FOOD.
So they are waiting in line to get in the store so they don't have to wait in line at the cash register. Now that makes a LOT OF FUCKING SENSE!!!!
This is the first ever store to open. Obviously there’s going to be an ass load of people. Would you be surprised if there was a long line for a new restaurant opening?
It's one store. Once there is one of these every 5 miles lines won't be an issue. Give it a year.
they literally said in the vid that the number of people in the store is LIMITED BY THE FIRE CODE. That fire code would ALSO APPLY to the big-box grocery stores that are able to house more people in them due to their sheer size.

There is no theft to talk about. Once you download the app and scan at entrance to be allowed in, you are known and anything you pick up and exit the store will be charged to you.
unless you casually step over the gate then just walk around pick up somethings then walk out
Derek Shelby once you do that, it becomes obvious that you came to shoplift and people preparing sandwiches at the back will pounce as an lock the store doors. What I'd there in someone at the secret room looking for people who just do that. The moment you jump, an alarm sounds and the doors automatically lock.
Just checking lol, not trying shit on them just seeing how things work. Hope this works out and spreads.
Mthwakazian Mthwakazian you can't lock the store doors that's a fire hazard. Any obstacle blocking exit to a facility is illegal.
You haven't thought this through. You assume people would only shop alone. Maybe you are alone. Maybe you don't have a kids. Maybe you have never shopped with a friend or family member. A group of people can enter the store with only one smart phone.

You can scan.your phone and let in a few people when the gates open.
You hadn't thought of that??
Hard to imagine Amazon used to just sell books online
Samsung used to sell noodles.
nice, there are lots of stores like this in Japan. It's good to see them in the US
This is how it starts = Skynet
Pray.
Can i find more info on the "Skynet" by just googling. A ai chat-bot brought that up once a few years ago... but so far i only know it as a drum & bass producer or smth alike.
David Brown exactly, may the lord have mercy
David Brown It's been started
Blu What is wrong with ur view
What happens if I go in with someone else but dont scane my phone
Netanel Gichtin u cant
People will always prefer a more human touch
E Murtaza You think people will choose to wait 20 mins in line to checkout by a real person instead of this?
Elite Fox no one waits 20 minutes
SheikhBasharAlAssad dumbest comment on here
+Anton 99

Oh yes Brick and Mortar. My favourite tv show.
I have a question, let's say you put a debit card in your account. You only have about 5.00 dollars on your debt. How would it know that you're taking to much and prevent you from stealing? Normally a cashier would say your card is declined. Will there be something that stops you from leaving?
Your bank account will probably show something like -5.00 or something and receive a warning letter about that $5 debt from your bank
So, there are no lines inside, but there’s a very long line outside? Where is the time savings here?
fire code only allowed 100 people at one time apparently + grand opening
draconas rayne 100 people + staff
David Farner lol hahaha
How quickly will they open more store... ? gee.. give them a break... they just opened the very first one in North America ! people really... the answers were smarter than the questions... poor guy ... trying to be positive.... thanks Spencer !
North America? Congratulations Canada.

Garrett G not now but only a matter of time.
what's stopping amazon from implementing same technology on whole foods? nothing
We all have money. It's what you do with it.
Nb B182 yeah man it's only matter of time...
nepali hercules Amazon owns Wholefoods.
It doesn't look like a person could do their full weekly grocery shopping there. There are not any carts to use. It would seem that you can only buy what fits in a bag.

When do you expect Amazon to roll out more stores??? They own Whole Foods. There’s your map.
Amazing what an invention. Embrace change dont hate it
Soon 80% DISCOUNT on Microchipped bodies...HURRY people
Umm no thanks
Amazing Amazon next level
Unemployment only
So they wipe out the lines only to have you wait in line outside 😂
Cashier jobs are soon to be a thing of the past, so very sad! Kroeger Foods & WalMart are both going that way, thousands of jobs will be lost! Cashiers are not the only positions being replaced. Retail, warehouses, office workers all in for a rude awakening.
I'll stick to ALDI :D this is a fun concept and I'll look forward to seeing more of it in the future.
Aldi already has this. Sometimes i just take stuff and leave. I don't get receipts though
lol
Can't wait for a Black Mirror twist
What if I don't scan the qr code and do shopping?
Wait in line, to not wait in line lol. I love the idea of this though! Checkout is the worst part of any shopping experience. "folks to prevent theft" WTF lady. You cant get in without scanning. Theft is LESS of an issue. I am going to try it out on wednesday!
What if your dog steals something for you?
AMAZING!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
All those cashier jobs Amazon go will kill if it becomes the new norm of shopping.
New generation innovation of how to not employed people.
Looooooool a grab and steal store!!! The dream 😂
i dont understand...if someone enter with qr code but dont have money on the credit card and take something what happens? they call police?
okokok i find something th-cam.com/video/vorkmWa7He8/w-d-xo.html
Handy little gimmick to make everything hella expensive
Greg Dundee food will become cheaper. No staff, so Amazon saves money and they can lower prices.
I wonder if Amazon tested their new store for "shoplifting." I mean, is it even possible to steal something when you have to have an app tied to your credit card to enter the store in the first place?
I don't theft will be a big deal because stores get robbed all the time. They also addressed this at :48.
Inb4 tech replacing humans...
Why would anyone go to a store that doesn't hire people? We are our own demise
So are we just going to ignore the fact that the male reporter sounds like Peter Griffin 🤔
This is a great way to learn how to steal and what it feels like, except you are comfortable.
isn't Bloomberg owned by bazos too?
Bet bunch of hoodlums gonna rob that place lol
So what about the people that accompany you while you shop. I assume people still shop with their children. Do they have to have a smartphone too? What about a friend that comes with me? Can I scan my phone to let them in and let them steal whatever they want?
This isn't going to work.
ekoms108 Lol, your little plan won’t work. All these scenarios have been tested. Millions of times.
You have to invite 'guests' through the app if they want to enter the shop with you. That'll tie them to your account.
PRECONDITIONING FOR THE MARK OF THE BEAST, DO NOT ACCEPT THE MARK REPENT AND ACCEPT CHRIST
Didn't you guys say that about credit cards and barcodes?
Wow. People waiting in line to avoid waiting in line
Amazon go; Amazon book; Amazon store; Amazon music; Amazon studios; people will get tired and will look for variety
Now shopping will much easier for hackers.
imagine if my phone died
I saw this move on southpark .. lol
Little piece of advise: Donot save on mouth-masks!
More Monopoly, Less jobs. What a shame.
You both are idiots
The mark of the beast is near
Regino Ramos I am dreading that day SMH it's gonna suck
Bill burr called this
People funding their own demise. Unreal
We all know there will be robots making the sandwiches in about 5 years time
"Errrr, theft is not an issue"
WUT?
LaCroix for the win $FIZZ
Opens it in the hood
I love it , I hate queue !
Answer the question dude lmao gosh ahhah
Open one up In the inner cities see how long they stay profitable 😃
I fucking hate Amazon this should have been started in California.
Heaven my father help them
7 Eleven has done this for decades. Not exciting in the least
Besos: "Hmmmm... i still can see human preparing sandwiches... let's find a way to replace them with machines so i can reach 200 bn $ by next year"
Very cool. 🌐
Lol "theft is not an issue" ... It will be soon!
Really easy to steal
Yep. More job loss of cashier's. In Australia so much theft because no one can get jobs because of scanning machine's. It's a global disgrace!
Who wouldn’t like the technology LOL ? people complain about cashiers and lines lol
This is targeted at high income people ???
Why are they reporting only now? This is old as f***
we are not meant to be robots.
Nope I'll just stick with the regular convenience store thanks
#hungry
People in China already did this for more than 4 years already
Not the whole store be completely fitted out with nothing but robot cashiers
Feb Vel Yeah, in America we're ready slow to adapt.
it's alright, theres nothing wrong with being the 2nd, or 3rd, or 4th in this case.
Feb Vel So? Can we not appreciate the things that are also starting to develop in our country?
Just finding it a bit funny, coz the worlds know US used to be the first in everything.
Hows this gonna work in baltimore .... Hahaha
Maybe in the future, electro-credits will be assigned persons based on the number of calories they burn? And then it will be quite evident who is working, and who not?

Y'know, because does not the brain burn calories, too?
This was a stupid idea. There's better things that can be implemented with this type of technology.
I feel bad for cashiers, about to lose their jobs
This is replacing humans .......do ppl actually care that AI and automation will ruin the world, literally ! ?
The future
Rise of the Machines!!! Humans are now OBSOLETE 🙀🙀🙀🙀
Make 1% top people more rich.get rid of jobs , who cares about socializing.since smartphones are our best friends. Where the humanity is going... scary
Ali Usmi the sad part is people tend to be ignorant to the blunt truth what's been shown to them and the 1% makes money of it as well...THAT'S SCARY
Just buy amazon stocks and be happy
Ali Usmi except for the people who made the app, update the app, restock food, monitor CCTV yeah totally all the top 1%
Soon everybody will be out of jobs don't be too existed think long term don't be fooled and how people will support them selves.... etc even reporters:) there are reason for human not machines.
People can be blind. Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Lost. FAST FOOD COOKS OUT =Job Lost = Millions of peopls = Another Recession folks. Uber Car Robots Job Lost= Millions of people's= Another Recession folks. Y well, when labor cost is higher than the cost of Capital The Devil speaks of Greed.
AMAZON GAS !!!!!!!!............ VERY SOON ???????????
Stupid thing to be excited about. By by jobs
People are still losing jobs...
Amazon sucks !
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ America is late to the party. This is a non-issue.
d1ngleb3rry please elaborate
China already has such shops more than a year ago. Therefore, it is just a copy of what China does.
Roger Faint It's not a copy of China. It's an idea that's been talked about by technologists globally. China just did it first. That's all.
d1ngleb3rry And to tell you truth, it's not really a party for people who are concerned about losing their jobs and having data collected on them. So... big whoop.
d1ngleb3rry chinese like to copy so much that you probably copied what u wrote
