Amazon is bringing its cashier-less checkout technology to a new Whole Foods store in the Washington D.C. area. The new store, opening in the Glover Park neighborhood, will be the first Whole Foods location to use Amazon’s “Just Walk Out” technology, which allows shoppers to skip the checkout line. Customers can scan an app, grab the items they want, and walk out. Sensors and computer vision technology detect what’s being taken off shelves. The technology first debuted at Amazon’s own cashier-less convenience stores, which have spread to more than two dozen locations across the U.S. Amazon said it has worked to rebuild the technology from the ground up since acquiring Whole Foods to ensure it works well for a full-size grocery store. The new Whole Foods store will have a conventional checkout lane for those who prefer to pay that way or use food stamps.
