0Amazon Go lines form in Seattle to try checkout-free shopping.
SEATTLE — Amazon's checkout line-free convenience store Amazon Go opened Monday morning in Seattle to crowds of press and the curious.
At least 100 would-be shoppers gathered in 41-degree weather to be the first to shop in the store.
Amazon employees walked down the line of those waiting to hand out bright orange Amazon Go shopping bags. As shoppers got to the door of the store, an employee checked to make sure they had the Amazon Go app correctly downloaded and the QR code up on their screen.
Shoppers scan the app on the electronic readers at the entrance turnstiles, then walk in and grab whatever they want. They can stick their purchases in their pockets, a bag or a pack — Amazon's Just Walk Out technology knows what they've taken, and what they've put back.
