AMAZON GO - SAN FRANCISCO, CA

AMAZON GO

SAN FRANCISCO, CA

Strolling down the streets of San Francisco and I saw my first Amazon Go store.  There were gals out front hustling people to come in and explaining this new concept in retail shopping.  I stopped and the gal showed me how easy it was to shop.  I made sure that my Amazon Prime App was loaded on my phone and walked into the store.  You can grab items, pour a cup of coffee, place things in your pockets or backpack and simply walk out the door. Want to put something back and you can do that too.  I grabbed an item and walked out.  The gal in front was smiling and said thank you.  She said next time come back and dump a dozen items in a backpack and it will scan everything as you leave. Amazing I thought.  This is it folks.  The future of shopping is here.  This will be the way you visit a 7-11 or other convenience store.  Just imagine in about five years you will be driven to the store by an autonomous car with no driver.  You will enter the store and shop with no cashier.  Want a burger?  Your burger and fries will be cooked by a robot and check out will be a kiosk with no cashier.  Times are changing fast and what is coming will change how we work, shop and live.
