'Customers hesitate when passing through the turnstiles at Seattle’s new Amazon Go store, as if they’re about to be transported into another dimension. '
'Amazon Go’s 1,800-square-foot layout houses all the staples of your prototypical upscale convenience store, including chips, cupcakes, sandwiches, frozen food, those Amazon-branded meal kits, feelings of superiority, prepared dishes, and even, yes, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. '
'And so remains the contrast between the bright, picturesque convenience store and the comically dark sea of cameras and sensors hanging above, all powered by thick bundles of wires, seemingly carrying every human morsel of information back to the hive mind. '
'Signs all over the store literally say “Just Walk Out.”The store opened to the public on Monday in downtown Seattle, though the prototype’s been available to Amazon employees for the past few months, like most things (immortality, etc). '
'There are signs all over the store which literally say “Just Walk Out,” and they mean it. '
