We thought we had hit the jackpot when they introduced self checkout within supermarkets- it meant less time waiting for the checkout assistant to scan all your items whilst having a polite conversation about how great your day was going, or how bad your day was going in some cases
Well just to fill you in, you haven't seen it all as far as supermarket technology goes as Amazon are now planning to open an 'Amazon Go' grocery store; this store not being the typical grocery store, where you pay in the store- how cliche would that be
According to BBC technology
The system detects when items are taken or returned to shelves and tracks them in a virtual shopping trolley.
Once the shopper leaves the store, their Amazon account will be charged and receipt sent to them.
How clever!! This is something that is very exciting
