Amazon Go opens its doors to New York shoppers on Tuesday.
This is also the first Amazon Go store that will also allow customers to pay in cash.
Amazon Go opened its doors to New York shoppers for the first time on Tuesday. And just like its 11 other locations across the US, this checkout free, line-free store promises to provide a speedy shopping experience that caters nicely to a busy New Yorker's schedule. Critics say that cashless stores exclude millions of potential customers who do not have a bank account. 8.4 million households, or roughly 6.5% of all households in America, were"unbanked" in 2017,Because of this, some states and cities have also considered banning cashless stores. Massachusetts, Philadelphia, and New Jersey require stores to accept cash payment, and New York City and San Francisco are considering similar measures.
