Amazon Fresh is moving away from a feature of its grocery stores where customers could skip checkout altogether.

Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with “Just Walk Out” technology, first reported by The Information Tuesday. The company’s senior vice president of grocery stores says they’re moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with.

      It just feels sad in there. The colors are sad, the products are boring, the cameras all over are dystopian. Even though there were other people there, it felt isolating. Too sterile.

        Gotcha. Never seen anything on them except this story (and maybe another at some point that mentioned they were opening some), so was curious.

          For sure. It’s an interesting concept but I enjoy going to the grocery store and this didn’t feel right.
