Some shoppers said the checkout process felt like shoplifting. Several journalists and shoppers attempted to try to trick Amazons sensors unsuccessfully. One journalist tried to trick the camera system by hiding his purchase in a bag under his arm, and still got charged for it. One shopper tried quickly swiping soda off the shelf, but the sensors still caught the choice and he got charged for it.However, one CNBC reporter, Deirdre Bosa, said she was able to leave the Amazon Go store without being charged for a cup of Siggis yogurt.VP of Amazon Go Gianna Puerin told Bosa to enjoy the yogurt on us, calling the incident a rare occasion that happens so rarely that we didnt even bother building in a feature for customers to tell us it happened. Amazon Go is so confident in the power of its cameras and sensors that it doubts shoppers can pull off more than the rare yogurt heist and the company has built no safeguard against it.Related from LaddersAmazon patents a robot to stalk you at the airportAmazon wants Alexa to be your new coworkerYoull never have to leave work again with Amazon KeyIs Amazon Go the future of retail?Amazonse-commerce empirehas already revolutionized how we shop online with its one-click convenience, and if it is able to take its technology mainstream, it could change the way we shop in retail stores too.
