Goldmine for Theft: Amazon Go (Tap & Take What U Want Store)

Is that the new wave of the future? No service staff, just tap & take what you want & go? I don't think so.

The way that woman puts things into her bag is the same as what shoplifters are doing. The ad seems to be saying, "You like putting things without paying into your bag? Now you can do so freely.".

It's a goldmine of fun & goodies for people with a criminal bent. Don't tempt me, Amazon Go.  I'm seeing your store of goodies & I feel some stirring in my heart.

Anything techno can be hacked. Criminals are very good at that. You're just making it simpler for them now with this "new" thing.

1) Hack into that App, that phone, that identity.  Or create a temporary one. Or use a small device to bypass when pretending to use the phone.
2) Enter with a tap. Everything's all yours.
3) Even if people are honest, there'll be problems with overcharging for things that you put back etc... In the video, it's supposed to delete the item from your cart if you put it back on the shelf.  In reality, even doing it once (let alone twice),  you might have to wait for the system to update etc...Meanwhile, there is no staff or not enough staff on hand to help you if there are problems. And the money has already been deducted from your a/c. Refund might take a long time etc...
