Amazon is not only dedicated to selling any type of product over the internet, but it has also diversified its business by also offering cloud storage services, streaming video and music, artificial intelligence ... but for some time has become interested in the sale of food products through physical stores.
A month ago, Amazon opened its first store without cashiers in Seattle, called Amazon Go, a store in which you just have to scan your smartphone with the Amazon Go application installed so that from that moment on it will track you and go including in your basket all the products you decide to buy. Once you have finished the purchase, you walk out the door without having to queue, since all these products will be charged directly through your Amazon account.
In order to manage all the movements of the users and the products they take, on the roof of the store we find a large number of cameras that are scanning at all times if you take a product to see it and return it or if you directly insert it in your shopping basket. At the moment, all the opinions that have been published about the operation of this new store without cashiers are very positive, which has encouraged Jeff Bezos' company to announce the opening of 6 new stores.
Moment the exact location of the new stores is unknown, but it seems that the pilot test will continue to be in Seattle, where during the first days the first store received a large number of visits, mainly from onlookers, which ironically caused large queues outside the store.
These stores are not completely autonomous, since for their operation they need restockers so that there are always stocks of all the items in addition to security personnel to prevent vandalism or that some other client behaves irresponsibly.
