Are these people shopping at Amazon boutiques?

Amazon wants to spread this to more than just their stores. It's a mild problem now but most things are when new tech is introduced. Accessibility doesn't matter when only a few sites are on the web but becomes critical when the web is the default way to access information.

Amazon Go is a convenience store...if convenience stores pick this up then yes, they will shop there.

The Amazon Go I used to visit was maybe 200 square feet in size but had 4-5 people stocking and moving things around. And apparently there are others in the back assisting the cameras and making sandwiches and whatnot.

The whole point of this post is that Amazon is opening up the tech to other grocery chains...
