Amazon Fresh is moving away from a feature of its grocery stores where customers could skip checkout altogether.

Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with “Just Walk Out” technology, first reported by The Information Tuesday. The company’s senior vice president of grocery stores says they’re moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with.

    I don’t know about Walmart but I heard Target will facial recognize you and deliberately wait across multiple trips until you have stolen enough to make it grand theft before taking action.

      Is that tracking distributed across stores or do I have license to steal $9999 from each one?

        Probably the amount stolen within the same state. But once you’re committing crimes across state lines, you’ve got bigger problems on your hands.

        And yes, they definitely share data across their whole company.
