Amazon Go Fuck Yourselves
“Amazon Go’s setup was never very class-friendly to begin with. Entering the store requires owning a smartphone with the Amazon Go app, which automatically charges people for the goods they take out of the door. Plus, there is the resounding uncertainty about how this type of automation will affect the millions of Americans who making their livelihoods working retail jobs.
“The fact that Amazon Go doesn’t accept food stamps only further hammers the idea that the store is geared towards a certain class of people. That is, not the 1,011,000 Washingtonians—or one in seven—who used food stamps to help feed their families in 2016.”
Amazon Go, the company’s new Seattle-based automated convenience store that opened up to the public on Monday, allows customers to zoom on in, grab whatever their hearts desire, and get out, all without having to deal with a checkout line or a human manning the register.
