If you were someone who used the Amazon Fresh store regularly I could imagine going to a normal supermarket and on autopilot just putting items in your bag. I really hope that this idea doesn’t catch on, jobs are scarce enough at the moment.
Yep, I thought of that too! Luckily we don't have the option yet in Dublin (hell, we can hardly get any stuff due to Brexit 🤦♀️) but I can just imagine walking out of Tesco with unpaid shopping in my bag!!! Agree with Grace, I find the whole affair quite soulless & cold!
What if people don't have enough funds on their card/account? Do the doors slam, alarm goes off and lock you in? 😂 Also if you put something back on the shelf, does your basket update? So many questions.
As an autistic person the idea of having a shop that i dont need to encounter the need to intract with people when i dont have the energy sounds amazing.
Absolutely, he wants more money and he wants it by not paying staff, and by hoping that this convenience will cause people to grab way more items not thinking about the cost, similar to how people tend to overspend with credit cards.
as soon as you said you were going to Amazon fresh I was like damn imagine if you went to the one that’s like 5 mins away from me, and you went! can’t believe you were in Ealing! 😂
If there date are not good maybe check, by putting the eggs in cold water to see if they are gone of. If they float they are gone off if they sink to the bottom they are good to eat. By the way you probably know this already lol. But I just wanted to tell you just in case even though you do baking loads lol. (By the way I am aware that the dates are fine. 🙂)
Apart from the fact this takes jobs away from people, I have to wonder how accurate it is? Will the cameras and app be able to tell the difference between you picking it up and looking at it then putting it back versus putting it in your shopping bag? What if its crowded and there's someone beside you reaching for something nearby is it sensitive enough to differentiate between each person and their bag? Idk. I'm very skeptical and I don't like that it takes away people's job opportunities.
there are hundreds of cameras and censors in the shop, and it uses very advanced deep learning IA techniques. It can detect when you pick something up or put it back
Would never voluntarily shop at Amazon Fresh. I'm already unfortunately tied in to Kindle Unlimited but am looking for options and actively trying to reduce the things my family buys from Amazon (which they find convenient 🤦🏽♀️)
I wish my life consisted of eating breakfast, lunch and dinner and getting excited about it, clearly my 6 years at uni have been a waste- probably should have gone down this route.
I like to shop and browse the supermarkets like you and I found that they are saying that the freezers are not coping with the heat as people leave the doors not shut properly and food is spoiling so most freezers in at least 5 supermarkets were empty!! I only wanted a lolly!!
How easy is it to overspend when you just put stuff in your bag? I would be a nightmare! How do they realise if you pick it up but just look and not buy? I’m one for preferring the human touch and protecting those jobs!
I thought maybe it was because people bought food for the big match she referenced. I know that happens here in the U.S. before big televised events. I hope that the driver problems are sorted for you guys soon!
I really was excited when one opened near me, but I see the prices are higher on many products, and there is LESS product selection.. I 'd rather go to Sprouts that have nice things, and good butcher people.
Great Video Grace, it just scares me so much that this is where we might head as a society because we NEED jobs, and giving all of that away to machines means unemployment skyrockets and we are controlled
Aldi shelves are empty because of all the problems of trucs drivers shortage/crazy and mishandled regulations and legislations to import food because of brexit…
