Amazon Go lets you trade your privacy for a cashier-less lunch buying experience Aimed at those who value sandwiches over security. ONLINE RETAIL GIANT Amazon has launched a shop that will make you feel like a shoplifter but will actually be tracking your every move. Amazon Go arrives in the form of an 1800-square-foot retail space located in the company's hometown of Seattle and is described by the firm as a "new kind of store" without checkouts. Instead of making small talk with cashiers or battling a self-service checkout that refuses to recognise your shopping in the bagging area, Amazon Go lets you waltz in, pick up a sandwich, and walk straight out. Naturally, that doesn't mean you're getting a free BLT on Amazon. Not only will you be charged once you've left the shop courtesy of the Amazon Go app that you'll need to install on your smartphone, you'll also have sacrificed your privacy for a speedy sandwich shopping experience.
