Topic 2-Amazon Go: The World’s Most Advanced Shopping Experience?

 

Amazon, the online retailer⁵ has announced it is opening a brick-and-mortar physical store in Seattle, Washington, so that you can start buying your goods from Amazon in person rather than through Amazon.com.

 

But the most unique thing about this store, which is called Amazon Go, is that it doesn't have any registers. You simply walk in, pick out what you want, and walk out. Amazon is calling this a "Just Walk Out" shopping experience.

Wu Xiubo has been known for his 5 o’clock shadow gentleman look, while Ben Affleck said his stubble was his ‘good luck’ charm for the Oscars.
