Amazon Go is a grocery store concept by Amazon that doesn't have any checkout lines.
While you shop, sensors monitor which items you take off and put back on the shelves. Once you leave the store, the credit card you have on file in your Amazon or Amazon Go app is automatically charged for the items you've chosen, and a receipt with the items you purchased is sent to your phone.
Amazon has 18 store locations across major cities including Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, and New York, with plans to open more stores across the country.
There are six Amazon Go store locations in New York City, and I visited four of them to see how they each compared.
I visited two Amazon Go locations at One Liberty and Brookfield Place in downtown Manhattan and two locations in midtown, which were located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza and the Chrysler Building.
I found that each Amazon Go store offers something unique for its customers, and various retailers, from smaller convenience stores to full grocery stores, should be on high alert.
