#Amazon Ditches 'Just Walk Out' Checkouts at Its Grocery Stores
Amazon Fresh is moving away from a feature of its grocery stores where customers could skip checkout altogether.
Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.

It is, in fact, the very point of the box.
