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

Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts.

      Sounds like they’re doing a “scan & go” type technology. You scan things yourself as you put them into your basket, then you can just walk out, so no need to line up at the self-checkout.

    It’s sad, this could eventually be automated.

    Now people have to waste their lives just manning checkouts.

      You’re acting like the people who would be manning the checkouts would be able to live peacefully without a worry now that they don’t have a job as a cashier.
