Amazon is cracking further into the $800 billion U.S. grocery industry, keeping the likes of Walmart, Kroger, 7-Eleven and Instacart on their toes.

The online behemoth on Tuesday is opening its first, full-size, cashierless grocery store. Five years in the making, the Amazon Go Grocery is in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, in the Amazon corporate headquarters' backyard.. At 10,400 square feet, the store at 610 E. Pike St. incorporates the same technology found in the two dozen

"We're just getting started here," he said, declining to comment on how many of these grocery stores Amazon may open. "I think what we're trying to do here — and with all of our physical stores — is really work backwards from the customer, and deliver some differentiation." Some items, mainly in the produce department, are sourced from Whole Foods' providers. Items from national brands as well as a variety of Amazon's private labels, such as Happy Belly, are also for sale. The store includes a self-service coffee bar.

Quit unfairly promoting Amazon unless you're going to spend equal time promoting every other grocery chain in America

Forget hiring people. They dont need jobs

It also looks like it's customerless.

They look like any grocery store

Pretty exciting news! I'll be honest though, the pictures just look like an empty grocery store...😉

No local produce. All shipped from CA and WA.

.49c avocados? What kind of heresy is this!

So, they are eliminating jobs for people. Yeah, remind me not to go to one of these stores. People need jobs.

Why is amazon amazon squeezing out the American work force!! Do you really want more Americans on welfare!?!?!!!?!?!?! stoproboticsstealingjobs

Capitalism creating jobs.

why are avocados cheaper there? Do human cashiers really add $1.79 to the cost of individual avocados?

Perfect timing

I thought they tried this ‘help yourself to what’s on the shelf’ thing already.

These type of stores have been around for decades in Asia lol ..

Bingo !

When will Amazon turn it all on its head? Amazon Food Now. You scan your prime code, walk into a building full of chefs cooking different dishes. You walk up and try a sample. You love it. Nearby is all the ingredients for that dish in a box. Pick it up and walk out.

I can’t wait for Amazon to open these in cities like SF & NYC where the laws don’t arrest for theft under $100 and there is no bail. The homeless will eat for free at Bezos’ expense! 😂

SWEET!

$.49 avocados?!

Nope... you're not going to take away jobs from cashiers and have me bag my shit myself at the same time.

It's in the back yard of Amazon HQ and is truly revolutionary. Scanning QR codes will be the future (eventually implanted into humans) and will have an immense effect over the global economy and cashless stores like this one will become a normal within a decade.
