What is Amazon Go?
Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology so you never have to wait in line. With our Just Walk Out Shopping experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout. (No, seriously.)

How does Amazon Go work?
Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our Just Walk Out technology automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in a virtual cart. When you’re done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.
How big is the store?
Our roughly 1,800 square feet of retail space is conveniently compact so busy customers can get in and out fast.

What do I need to get started?
All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.

Why did you build Amazon Go?
Four years ago we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no lines and no checkout? Could we push the boundaries of computer vision and machine learning to create a store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go and Just Walk Out Shopping.
So I can just shop normally?
Yes! Just browse and shop like you would at any other store. Then you’re on your way. No lines, no checkout.

What can I buy at Amazon Go?
We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of grocery essentials ranges from staples like bread and milk to artisan cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, with all the ingredients you need to make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.
Where is Amazon Go located?
Our store is located at 2131 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street.

that chick with the sandwich, juice and cupcake must have a huge arse.

I've been thinking about this for probably 15 years. About damn time.

This is the beginning of the Robot Uprising.

this will employ thousands of those old people sams and walmart use at the door to slow down your experience significantly, but the video is nice in theory

That's a convenience store.

Surprised Amazon is in the lead. I was expecting one of the traditional stores to try this first. They are hurting with online retail and this could level the playing field.
They would reduce staff (overhead) with the removal of point of sale employees.

It'll go the way of the drones, they just put shite like this out for stock promotion. Guarantee one of the mainstream grocers does this first

Amazon is such an awesome company. I could see them plying this off.
The summer before last we were in Seattle visiting friends and we took the boat out in the lake one afternoon.
Our friend asked what we needed from the grocery and what he could cook for us. They ordered from the Amazon grocery service right there on the boat. When we got back to the house that evening the shite was sitting on the porch waiting for us. Even delivered refrigerated items.

He's alluding to the Amazon Go store becoming self aware. Gird your loins.

I have my doubts this would work in an area with lots of... culture.

Walmart and krogers already do this.
You order and pay online. An employee does the shopping and brings it out to your car when you arrive.

I do this all the time. It's awesome. I never step foot inside a grocery store anymore. Buy quality meats at a butcher in town

If Amazon puts a physical store in this state won't taxes automatically be added to all Amazon online purchases then?

Why? You can't hide stuff and shoplift.
No cashiers to pass off counterfeit money to or to not scan items.
If you have something you'll get charged for it. Hidden or not.
