Seattle debuted its first Amazon cashierless store, billed as being a shopping experience without lineups and the need to interact with any humans to pay for your goods
The concept is kinda cool I guess? Shoppers register with their cellphone at the door and then enter, grab whatever they want and just leave. The transactions are recorded on your smartphone and Amazon bills you later.
We all hate standing in line to pay for the items we want to buy at big box stores but I'm perplexed..
Check out this picture from Seattle..
That's a lineup isn't it? 😐
Well good thing noone was inconvenienced with waiting in a lineup inside to pay for their items! Instead shoppers were all standing outside in the cold to get inside so they then could walk out without waiting in a lineup to pay inside. Confused, so am I..
Amazon you are a genius group!
First you destroy small retail with your online ordering model, then you come back with brick and mortar stores to trick shopping zombies into not waiting in a lineup inside but waiting in one outside. Take my f*cking money please!
