Life & English: No lines, no checkout

Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. It created the world’s most advanced shopping technology and customers never have to wait in line.

With 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. Amazon 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. Customers use the Amazon Go app to enter. 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. A little later, Amazon will send you a receipt and charge your Amazon account.

Customers need Amazon accounts and the free Amazon Go app. Can find the Amazon Go app on the Apple App Store, Google Play, and Amazon Appstore. When you arrive, use the app to enter the store, then feel free to put your phone away—you don’t need it to shop. Then just browse and shop like you would at any other store. The flagship store has prepared foods, meal kits, limited groceries, and liquor available for purchase. Once you’re done shopping, you’re on your way. No lines, no checkout, no waiting. Very fast and convenient.

Now Amazon Go is a chain of grocery stores operated by the online retailer Amazon. Amazon reportedly plans to open as many as 3,000 Amazon Go locations across the United States by 2021.
