It's fantastic: I can go to the store, shove some groceries in my pockets or backpack, and walk out in 45 seconds. Amazon pings you a notification telling you how long you were there after you leave, and I'm convinced they do it to have people try to improve their shortest times.
It seems to be a fair amount of pfaff getting in to confirm who you are, there didn’t seem to be that much selection to find much worth buying.
But automated tills have long queues, and I’ve noticed I sometimes bodge the payment system and leave without paying. But being in the habit of checking my bank account whilst shopping I notice payment hasn’t gone through and put my shopping through.
Which is strange since someone ran after me when I absent Monday walked out of a store with an empty shopping basket.
This seems overstated. You scan a barcode on your Amazon app. That's it.

It feels like a smaller, more focused grocery store (something between an Aldi and a Safeway), but all the basics are there and then some. I don't live close enough to one to use it regularly, but I would if I did.
