RE: Would you use a grocery store where once you get all the items you want you can leave and based on an app on your phone you will be charged for what you took? (No cashiers, no checkout lines)

No

as cool and futuristic as the Amazon Go market is, it eliminates a lot of jobs that often go to high schoolers, those with disabilities, and the elderly. I hate to see a population that struggles to find work get a bit harder.

This is going to happen, either now, a few years from now, or a few decades from now. Automation is going to become a thing. Instead of trying to avoid it, I think we as a society need to look into what we can do to protect those groups as it happens. Technology is here to stay- we need to figure out how to make that work for us.
