There are no checkout lines at the new Amazon Fresh that opened in the Festival at Manchester Lakes last week.
Amazon describes the shopping experience this way:
"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. 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. Later, we’ll send you a receipt and charge your Amazon account. No lines, no checkout. (No, seriously.)"
That's just one of the unusual aspects of shopping at Amazon Fresh, the first Amazon grocery store to open in the Alexandria area.
Miyo Koszeghy, a Realtor at Keller Williams, recorded a video as she shopping at Amazon Fresh. Watch her use the technology (and what happens when it fails) here.
