Brace yourselves New Yorkers: You're getting an Amazon Go store.

Amazon confirmed to CNN that it plans to open one of its checkout-free grocery stores of the future in New York after several job listings for positions such as a store manager were posted online.

Amazon opened the first Go store in Seattle in January of this year. Hailed as the store of the future, customers use their phones to scan their Amazon Go app at the turnstiles located at the entrance.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
