Amazon Go at Brookfield Place in New York will also start accepting cash, Amazon said, after the company faced some backlash over 'discrimination' concerns.

Amazon Go opens to the public at Brookfield Place in downtown New York on Tuesday.

The e-commerce company announced Tuesday that Amazon Go is opening to the public this week at Brookfield Place in downtown New York, on the second level of the enclosed shopping mall. The roughly 1,300-square-foot store makes this the twelfth Amazon Go location to open in the U.S. It is, however, the first one to make it to New York, with most of the others blanketing the West Coast, including in Seattle and San Francisco.

As catering to those people who don't have credit cards or bank accounts has become a bigger topic for debate, Philadelphia was the first city to ban cashless stores earlier this year. New Jersey then passed a state-wide ban. And similar laws are still being looked at for New York and San Francisco.

Are these the jobs AOC was looking for? Peopleless🤣
