I went inside Amazon's Grocery Store: Smart Carts & No Cashiers! 

It's a great idea to repost this. It now has a better chance of getting into the algorithm better.

I know a lot of people LOVE going to the grocery store just to look at the fresh produce. Maybe this is a more 'old-style' attitude to shopping, but I still like looking at the quality of the meats I buy, inspecting the broccoli for any yellowing, picking exactly the right sized bunch of bananas. But for laundry detergent, cereal, packaged goods, I can easily order those online. So Wholefoods and the like which focus on fresh food can implement this system but maybe with a scanning QR code instead of keying in a ZIP code to make it less cumbersome and I think its quite attractive that you don't need to wait and line up to check out.

Excellent review and I am surprised it was not a perfect experience. I think grocery stores are here to stay for quite some time because it takes less time. For example, it usually takes less than 30 mins to select and vet around a hundred items by hand, but same items would take hours to vet and order online. Not to mention the shipping time. Online has an edge if one is buying the same exact things over and over again, but I do not know anybody who buys the exact same groceries with exact same amounts every time. We are still not full robotic, yet.

Most of us with eyes to see know exactly what this is the beginning of.

Always love these videos man! The Hema one you did was really cool to see too

Im going into my final year of my undergrad degree and am focussing my dissertation on digital technologies and consumer behaviours! great video, cant wait to visit for myself

Ok, so is this the future or is the future delivery?

Love your videos Uptin! 😄

It’s definitely the future of shopping whether people like it or not.

It all depends on your house location and age group (in terms of grocery shopping). I go both ways but sometimes it's really nice to see how the supermarket looks especially during holiday season

OMG, it’s really crazy!!

The only issue I would think is losing the cart after you go outside with it. Also how weather resistant are the carts.

I love this idea. Yea it's a bit slow but I'd go for it especially when I have my standard re-up grocery shopping and I'm not getting anything new. I like the flexibility. Wish they had these in Ontario, Canada where I live. 😁 Great video thx for sharing!

There is one of these stores opening in Brookfield , Connecticut

great vid as always. Yes, some people dont want to be filmed, and while legally u may be able to film in most public spaces, it's nice that u respect people request for privacy!

I must admire you are consistently uploading videos

Ordering groceries online is a great concept. But, I really prefer to choose my own groceries. For example, someone who is filling your order may not take the time to make sure your cans are not bent, your bread is fresh, or, your produce doesn't have any bad spots on it. They also may not take time to make sure you are getting products that have the longest shelf life left on them. The workers are busy, so, that's all understandable. However, I've seen workers placing cold items in orders, then, they go about filling other orders on their big carts. Meanwhile, those cold items are getting warm or hot. So, I really prefer to do my own grocery shopping. I also prefer to choose the meats I may order. The smart cart would be a plus once you get used to how the system operates, though. 😉

There’s multiple in London they’re really nice and efficient to visit

Looks like this is more work than normal. Yeah you safe the time at the cash register but all the wasted time to scan everything you put in your cart. I usually don´t need more than 15 minutes to buy my groceries including the cash register time. This looks like it would take 30 minutes because of the scanning.

As a grocery store cashier, I know the codes can be tricky. But once you go there and use the codes multiple times it should be a lot faster because you will remember them.

The Dutch have already been doing this for years. With a few differences though. Most stores have got handheld scanners at the front that you can take with you whilst grocery shopping, but with regular carts. At the end of the store you’ve got sort of a terminal where you check out using said scanner. Payment is manual though (Entering your debit card code etc). There are random checks so that customers don’t start stealing en masse. So the checkout isn’t completely automatic.

Too stingy to even hire a cashier, 😠😠

The one major advantage I see to this, is that there are no long check out sections! Although, the cumbersome ness of entering product codes will have to be improved over time!

In uk one just put in a bag or rucksack. No cashier or anything all done by camera in store not on trolley

Hey Uptin! I'm really curious about your video production process. From ideation to uploading the final vid.. hope we could see it. I'm really impressed with your videos 🤗

This needs to come to Canada

Hey Uptin I have been thinking to make a youtube channel & I already did research on a particular topic.Should I go for it?

Americans take their privacy quite seriously? As a german I'm laughing

Are the bags reusable?

I love your Vblogs.

This looks like the future 😮😮😮

Notice how they passed all the work off to the customers 😂.

You did good baby we got Amazon fresh in my hometown

No PORK in Bible

Wow que buen video!!❤

This is not for convenience this is getting you ready to be marked. Look how long this takes.

I wonder if they are RFID enabled

Great video

Yes, smart carts are good for whomever would rather not interact with anyone at a checkout lane or for the last customers to finish shopping in congested stores, but why run a cashierless store if that means something replaces cashiers? If every physical store no longer had employment of any type, how would we get the money we’d need in order to buy whatever we can’t live without?!

I love you man

omg uptin its you could you please reply to this?

i think i have seen the same video on your channel before

The produce needs improvement

its insane how many people love this. yes lets all go broke

no its not they make you do the work by your self and charge you for it

2:25 , well asking stupid , try to be popular questions, will never work

I feel like this will be a bust.

Putting people out of but putting down price with less wages to pay every week

This was a negative experience for you I think, but this will be the future

It’s feel easy cos I am cashier. 🤪

Omg..u left CNBC?

🌸🖤Good luck to you

Pure Evil ~ NO human interaction 🥲

So it’s a glorified whole food

Oh,Lord! No,not for me!..sorry.I am way too old fashioned!..

I dont think i would ever want Amazon to track me...I will go cash always!

Is this coming to Africa soon.....🤣🤣 Or we have to wait for GOD to come back First 😂😂

yep do the work yourself for free and ac there profit margins are bigger and accept this discrmination against cashless people this is human unfriendly. Every hman deserved the right to pay cash f he chooses to. I wll not shop there and aid them to make people jobless and do there work and ignore human basic rights they deserve to be sued and a good boycot
