"Amazon Abandons Cashierless 'Just Walk Out' System in Grocery Stores"
Amazon is discontinuing its cashierless checkout system, Just Walk Out, at its Fresh supermarkets in the U.S., opting to rely more on Dash Carts instead. The decision comes as part of a broader recalibration of the company's grocery strategy, aiming to enhance the overall shopping experience based on customer feedback. While Amazon's Go convenience stores and smaller Fresh locations in the U.K. will continue to use the technology, the company will also license it to third parties. The move reflects a shift in Amazon's approach to cashierless technology, which was initially championed by founder Jeff Bezos as a way to revolutionize the retail experience.
