New technology that allows shoppers to just walk out

[GURPS]

A few years back, as part of its Amazon Go convenience stores, the company introduced Just Walk Out technology.

It has customers scan their credit or debit cards before walking in and grabbing the items they need, with their account being charged for what they choose as they walk out of the location automatically, per Just Walk Out's official website.

In Dollar General's case, the chain is partnering with AiFi, a tech startup that offers a similar service, per what a spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider.

AiFi and Just Walk Out use several dozen cameras to detect what shoppers select and take out of store locations.

The biggest problem I've experienced shopping at DG, is lack of enough personnel available at the registers. I usually pay with my debit card and only pick up a few items, so self checkout is a blessing.

IDK how comfortable I'll be with this new tech, but will definitely be willing to give it a try. I say bring it on.

In Democrat cities you can already take whatever you want and walk out, no account required.

Maybe you should have to scan a card to get in in the first place.
