These days we've been watching in disbelief how Amazon opened a new supermarket chain, in the first place in the United States of America (like almost everything that happens in this world) and whose main champion is to end the checkout lines once and for all.

These Amazon Go supermarkets They will have infrared camera systems and electronic sensors that follow the customer in the development of their purchase and detect which items we are taking from the shelves, that's when we deposit them in the real cart, but Amazon adds them to the virtual cart. Also, if we put it back on the shelf it is automatically removed from our invoice.
Users will download the application Amazon Go and they will fit it into a device when entering the supermarket, when leaving when we return the device is when we will be charged. The mechanism is supposedly burglar-proof (a journalist from The New York Times He put it to the test with some sodas and they were charged anyway). We may be facing the end of cashiers in supermarkets, and above all, the end of queues.
