Amazon Go’s cashierless tech may come to Whole Foods as soon as next year
Amazon introduced its cashierless tech in 2016

Amazon may be looking to bring the cashierless tech found at its Go convenience stores to Whole Foods supermarkets as early as next year, the New York Post reports.


Amazon may start implementing the tech in Whole Foods sometime during the second quarter of 2021, according to the New York Post’s source. This technology, which is currently available in more than 20 Amazon Go convenience store locations, uses cameras, sensors, and computer vision to let customers walk out the store with groceries in hand and avoid cashier checkout lines.

he retires early next year.

Amazon Go stores initially launched in 2016 for Amazon employees before opening to the public in 2018. Following Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods in 2017, customers, workers, and journalists wondered if Amazon would integrate this technology into the supermarket. In February, Amazon Go VP Dilip Kumar told our sister site Recode there were “no plans to put this in a Whole Foods for now.”


The promise of cashierless grocery stores is convenient: walk in, buy your groceries, and walk out. While this “just walk out” model is nice, this new technology is very likely to replace jobs with machines. After Amazon announced that it would begin selling this tech to retailers, the United Food and Commercial Workers Union criticized the tech giant, saying the cashierless model is “a direct threat to 16 million American retail jobs and is part of a ruthless strategy to eliminate as many good jobs as possible.”

Amazon declined to comment on the rumor.

You're not missing anything. Their prices are much higher for organic / cage free eggs and meat than a regular grocery store.

:ohhh: Thanks. So they like the apple computers of grocery stores?








Also, on the egg portion, ive seen "organic" and "cage free" separately. Ive also seen them together. Is there a difference in composition and taste-wise? :feedme:

The hype died years ago.

Before Amazon bought it and before the health food craze really went mainstream,
Whole Foods was known for carrying all of the organic produce and natural products that were hard to find anywhere else.

This is why there's so many incels, young kids supposed to get a job, get a beater car, do social activities and get some p*ssy but with the leap forward in technology and corporations beginning to phase out unskilled labor like cashiers, kids are gonna have less and less and less opportunities to get a job and this social media/internet shyt already made all these kids anti-social :francis:

Damn Shame I feel bad for kids born post-2020 :mjcry:
