Amazon’s cashier-less grocery store just opened to the public, showing what the future of shopping could look like. At the Amazon Go store located at the company headquarters, shoppers enter through automated turnstiles using the Amazon app, and then shop as they normally would—sans checkout lines and cashiers, thanks to cameras and other tech. The store experienced growing pains during testing, but some think the futuristic move could have a domino effect, causing a shift across retail akin to “Netflix replacing Blockbuster [or] Uber replacing taxis.” (Reuters, MediaPost)
