Very interesting, but really makes you think about certain things while being a consumer. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve heard there are certain Amazon stores that have completely cashierless technology. In other words, you scan the app at the door, the sensors in the store can detect whenever you remove something from a shelf and they automatically add the item to your list. Once you’re done, you simply walk out the door and the app automatically charges you for the items. Not sure if Amazon is implementing this shopping cart technology in place of the technology I just mentioned, but it’s definitely worth mentioning.

Went to an Amazon fresh store for the first today that opened close to my house, I had a great experience shopping there and everything is so high tech and convenient it was almost overwhelming. I loved the selection of organic food they had which is good for me since im trying to follow a healthier lifestyle, plus the prices are pretty reasonable compared to another store like it. I shop at jewels mostly and I know for a gallon of milk and a box of cereal it's about $10, but I purchased milk, cereal, a frozen pizza, guacamole dip, and iced tea, and it came out to almost $13. Saw a bunch of Amazon employees zooming around the store shopping for people who ordered their groceries online which is a nice service they offer. My only complaint is the fact I work for Amazon at a fulfillment center, but yet they don't offer discounts for people who work for the company even for the employees who work in the store themselves. All in all, I had a pretty good experience and Amazon fresh might be my store of choice from now on.

I love how you can see how much you’re spending while you shop. It’s a great way to stay within your budget.

Nice, that's some next level stuff. Here in Sweden we've had self scanning for many years already, a small handheld device that we manually need scan the barcode, but can pack down in bag and check summary as we go along in the grocery store. Obviously an easier way someone can steal, however it also does comes up sometimes at checkout - that employee needs to scan about 1/3rd of the items I scanned, to see so it's correct. That gets less as you 'level up' in their system of many shopping rounds.

Awesome tour— thank you! I had no idea how these stores worked or what they looked like. Apparently we’re getting one in Brookfield, CT soon, under a cloak of mystery, and I was wondering what to expect. Thanks again.

Can you also show how the system works with vegetables or fruit that needs to be weighed?

[christopherlucas]

First let me give my condolences to all of the cashiers who work at grocery stores because as you can see, some time in the near future, your job will be gone/dead! Lol….. Secondly, I absolutely love this high tech idea of shopping! It makes life that much easier! Standing in line at the grocery store especially around the holidays is a major joy killer! And thirdly, I really wanted to see how this high tech shopping cart calculates produce. Next time could you please show the viewers how that works. Thanks!

One of these stores is opening in my neighborhood (Chicago suburbs). I can't wait this looks awesome!

[timeenuf]

Thank you for this great video. Now I'll look like a professional shopper when I go for the first time.

[joeyjoe]

Looks so amazing I hope we have one in Massachusetts

[timothywilliamson]

Gosh that would make grocery shopping so much easier. I love it! ❤

[philaman]

I am impressed! Only a matter of time before other supermarkets adopt this!

[jennifertemperley]

I love it, The best part I like is you can see the price while still at the Display to check price. I scanned a box of ribs and it scanned in as 4.00 above the Posted price

This is truly terrifying, It’s staggering to see the profound level of ignorance of the people that are just slapping us up

[SophiaLHCA]

One half of our Kohl’s store in La Habra is being demolished to make room for an Amazon Fresh store. The locals are outraged, but I’ve got to admit it looks pretty cool. BTW that packet of tuna you showed.. it’s $1 less at Walmart.
