Amazon Go: Go to the store, take what you want, and return home

Imagine you have gone to a store to buy groceries. You put what you need in your shopping cart and leave the store without waiting in line to pay. The purchase amount is automatically deducted from your bank account. Don't assume! This is possible. This is not a scene from a science fiction movie, but rather the Amazon grocery store that will soon open in Seattle, USA. According to Reuters, Amazon, which has become the largest chain store in America, now intends to compete with chain supermarkets. On Monday, Amazon announced that this checkout-free store, called Amazon Go, will be launched in a space of 167 square meters. This store will initially be open only to the company’s employees, whose headquarters is in Seattle, Washington. The store has powerful sensors that determine what items each individual has placed in their shopping cart. The purchase amount will be automatically charged through the buyer's Amazon account. Currently, Amazon delivers products and groceries to users' homes through Amazon Fresh. John Dyson, a technology researcher, says the company has correctly identified that its e-commerce model does not work for all products. He believes that if the number of these Amazon store models increases in different cities, Amazon will become a serious competitor to traditional grocery stores. Neil Saunders, director of retail research at Conlumino, believes that one of the headaches for grocery stores is their long lines, which are usually the most inefficient part of the shopping experience. Now, with this new method, not only is the cost of store staff eliminated, but the shopping process is much faster, resulting in a more satisfied customer. This store is expected to open to the public early next year. Amazon's plans for expanding this store outside of the city are not yet clear.
