A comment on Amazon Closing Fresh and Go Stores.

There are around 12 Amazon Go / Amazon Fresh in the metro Chicago area. Unless all employees are part-time employees (and assuming around 10-ish employees per store), I seriously wonder how they got around Illinois WARN requirements [1] requiring 60 days advance notice of the closures.

I don’t know about Illinois but usually you can pay people the money they would have normally be paid by working. You get off the hook, they get 2 months worth of money without working and everyone is happy.
