"Amazon Abandons Just Walk Out Technology in U.S. Grocery Stores"
Amazon is removing its Just Walk Out technology from Amazon Fresh stores in the U.S. and replacing it with smart carts that allow customers to skip the checkout line while seeing their spending in real time. The decision comes as part of a revamp of the grocery chain, with the company aiming to address customer feedback for the need to view receipts and savings while shopping. Despite struggles in the grocery sector, Amazon is selectively opening new Fresh stores and remodeling existing ones, while continuing to offer Just Walk Out technology in Amazon Go stores and some smaller Amazon Fresh stores in the U.K., as well as to third-party retailers.
