Subject: Amazon launches 'shoplifting' app |
URL: Amazon Go |

Oh wow, Amazon is creating a shoplifting experience:
"On a recent visit to the store, Amazon handed me a
phone to test out the Amazon Go technology using a
demo account. Shoppers need to download an Amazon Go
app to their smartphone, and scan it at a high-tech
turnstile upon entering the store.
After that, customers shop like they normally would,
except for one crucial exception: when they’ve
selected everything they want to purchase, they simply
leave the store with the items and don’t stop to pay."

"And one the most pressing questions people seem to
have is: what happens if you try to steal something?
That was put to the test today when CNBC tech
correspondent Deirdre Bosa accidentally left the
store without being charged for one cup of Siggi’s
yogurt.
Revealing that there’s not even a feature to tell
Amazon you’ve taken something without paying is
rather telling. It suggests the company is so
confident in its system that it hasn’t built out any
protocol for or safeguard against missing items. And
it’s not just that, but Amazon also isn’t drawing a
distinction between those who accidentally leave
without paying for something and those who may be
actively trying to steal."
