Amazon launched its high-tech Go convenience store a year ago, where shoppers can pull items off the shelf and walk out.
Its new store opening in New York City Tuesday will be the first Amazon Go store to do so. At its other shops, customers can only enter with an app that links to a credit card or an Amazon account.
In the new store, employee will swipe those who want to pay by cash through the turnstile entrance. After shoppers grab what they want off the shelves, an employee will scan each item with a mobile device and check them out. There still won't be cash registers in the store. "This is how we're starting," he says. "We're going to learn from customers on what works and what doesn't work and then iterate and improve it over time."
