"Amazon Go" Market Will Let You Walk In, Walk Out Without Having to Pay Cashier... Somehow

Supposedly a combination of camera technology, smart "algorithms" and something something adaptive learning something will inform your Amazon account which items you've bought and which you've put back. You check in with your Amazon app at the beginning of your shopping, then shop, then just walk out without paying for anything. Somehow the something something technology knows what you've taken and bills you later.

You know what I'd like even better? I virtually shop, saying I want this this this and this, then I walk out without even carrying the stuff out. Then they deliver it later at some time I've scheduled. Like when you stop by a supermarket but have somewhere to go afterwards so you can't just keep the milk and ice cream in your car, getting warm.

Lazy, I know. But a man can dream.

Speaking of disruptive technology: Phillip Morris, the cigarette giant, is now eyeing dumping its actual tobacco lines in favor of e-cigarettes (and other smoking alternatives) only.

believe there will come a moment in time where I would say we have sufficient adoption of these alternative products ... to start envisaging, together with governments, a phase-out period for cigarettes," Andre Calantzopoulos said in an interview on BBC Radio 4.
"I hope this time will come soon," he added.

WalMart never really worried me, I guess if I lived in a rural place and it became the only store I would feel different, but to me it was simply another store like K Mart or Target.

Amazon though is buying up media, electronics newspapers, drone delivery, even space travel.

Both of the higher end grocery stores here have the order online, drive up to the pick up lane, push the button and they'll bring out your groceries service.

I think both of them charge $100 for unlimited for a year and I have to say for anyone with kids I bet it's a huge time saver.

54 Mark of the Beast? I'll tell you something spooky. Art Bell, years ago had that lunatic Ed Dames, the "Remote Viewer" on many times. One time ol' Ed had been remote viewing just what the hell the visions in the Book of Revelation was about.

He said what John was seeing for the False Prophet was some sort of machine, not a person, and soon realized it was the boob tube. The TV. And thus he decided the False Prophet was mass media. That is what will deceive the world.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

That is all woo-woo shit, of course, but that Dames' shit could spook me every once in a while, and that was one of them.

Around here, if you don't have EZ Pass, you have to stop and pay a toll. But on the TZB, you just zip right across and somehow it knew to either read your transponder or take an image of your tag. No slowdown or toll booth required. I've not seen that anywhere else.

And they are making the roads so that people without EZ-Pass have a hard time getting on them - i.e. EZ-Pass only entrances.

They are all a bunch of assholes. They're not satisfied being able to charge in perpetuity for things that were only supposed to be temporary but now they are getting off tracking us everywhere - and they only do it for their own sick kicks, really. When it comes down to it they want to track us just to show they can. Like with those totally illegal red light cameras. It makes me laugh that cops have been so stupid as to actually pull people over in order to give them tickets while, all the while, it seems, all they had to do was note the license plate and send a ticket or two or three to the owner. ... right ...

180 I do think there is a real opportunity here for conservatives to push some basic privacy laws and keep a lot of these Silicon Valley Oligrarchs at bay.

I doubt though our business whore Republicans will actually use this opportunity, you wave a $2,500 check and they'll sell you the rope to hang them.

Mark my words though, these Tech Moguls have endless amounts of money and technology to have a sort of Kleptocracy in America.

The CEO of Google met with Obama like 200 times or something aburd. Same with mark Zuckerberg and the rest of them.

Because they are guilty and the whole thing has already blown up internationally. They have no idea what to do. Do they defend pedophilia or cry that 99% of Americans find pedophiles and pedophilia to be a crime punishable by death

They are freaking out.

And notice there have been no lawsuits. Also notice Reddit banned pizzagate but they keep the SubReddit Pedofriends where you can go and discuss your stories, strategies,and tactics for having sex with very young children.

It's sick and wrong and they know it. The religion and art arguments hold zero water. Neither does its a disease excuse.

These sick fucks have been covering it up for decades and are frightened for their lives when Americans realize each person involved.

Posted by: BourbonChicken at December 05, 2016 06:08 PM (VdICR)

301 A grocery store near me used to have the hand-held scanners that let you scan and bag your groceries as you shopped, and just pay at the checkout lane. It was great, but the last few times I used it the system wouldn't let me pay until somebody came over and checked all my items. This happened two or three times in a row, and the last time I was pretty furious. The whole point of using the scanner was to save time, and having somebody take all the my groceries out of my bag, rescan and rebag them was a huge waste of time. Plus, they never bagged them the way I liked. So I really let the store employees know I did not like the implication that I was stealing. I can understand the need to do some random checks, but every time I used the scanner was not random. The next time I went in the store the hand-held scanners were gone. Need I add that this store is in a heavily minority neighborhood?

I taught the older spawn how to shop after he went clothes shopping with his aunt, spent four hours, came back with ridiculously expensive shit, most of which he hated.

Walk fast. Pick fast. Pay fast.

Coat, 2 ties, two pairs of dress slacks, two pairs of socks and a pair of loafers.

343 The various multiple generations laying their purchases upon the belt in separate batches, intending to pay separately. The cart didn't look all that full when you chose that cashier as having the shortest line but you end up being the last one out by far.

When my parents were visiting while I was recovering from hip surgery, we went to Sam's Club to get a Hanukkah brisket. They didn't have real wheelchairs, only scooters about the size of golf carts that were like steering a cruise liner. I chose to wait in the car. Those things are awful.

Funny part is, a few days before we'd gone to IKEA to get a guest bed for them, and they had actual no-kidding manual wheelchairs. They were easy to zip around in and go through aisles without looking like something from Grand Theft Auto.

381 Interesting that Safeway stores in upscale areas have self-checkout lanes that allow you to self scan while stores in Econ Depressed areas only have checker/scanners.

While waiting at one selfcheck line I played spotter for the toddler who kept trying to crawl out of the cart while mom was scanning her big basket of groceries. Kid needed a climbing harness with safety line.

Oh there was a reason.People who know their store don't have to wander around looking for the stuff they buy so you can get in and out quickly without browsing the aisles.Stores around here change things up just about every month so you spend more time in the store and perhaps buy things you don't normally buy.

The only exceptions are socks and underwear, which I've bought at Target. I'll try Wal-Mart next time.

399 You know how much I hate shopping? A couple years ago when it was time to replace my 23-year-old car which I has owned for 15 years, I bought a Consumer Reports car issue. I noted some that looked like something I might want, then planned to start looking at used cars.

But there was one new car which I could afford that I saw advertised, and it was marked down 15% from the sticker price. I went to the dealer, took a test drive, and signed the paperwork.

First car I looked at. Bang. Done.
