No checkout needed: Amazon opens cashier-less grocery store - Audiolibro Gratis

Amazon is aiming to kill the supermarket checkout line. The online retailing giant is opening its first cashier-less supermarket, the latest sign that Amazon is serious about shaking up the $800 billion grocery industry. Amazon is opening its supermarket, without cashiers - called Amazon Go Grocery - in Seattle.It's more than five times the size of its smaller Amazon Go convenience stores, and has many more items beyond sodas and sandwiches.The new supermarket sells everything from fresh baked bread and butternut squash and other items to stock the fridge or make a meal.Shoppers can grab milk, eggs and any other available items - and walk out without checking out or opening their wallets.People pay by scanning a smartphone app when they enter the store.Cameras and sensors then track what's taken off shelves, and the items are charged to an Amazon account after leaving.Amazon plans to open another type of grocery store in Los Angeles sometime this year, but the company said it won't use the cashier-less technology at that location.
