Amazon’s cashless and contactless payment system Amazon One has been adopted by the Community Groceries in Kansas City, Kansas, becoming the first such store outside of Amazon-owned businesses to integrate this system.
Shoppers will now be able to insert their credit card at the entry gates of the store or hover one of their palms over the Amazon One terminal. Once completed with their shopping, customers can simply just walk-out of the store and their items are automatically subtracted from their bank account, while also linked to their Amazon One ID.
This new way to pay will go live on December 16th.
Amazon’s technologies change the way we think about shopping. I, like most people, have a very full schedule, and grocery shopping is a tedious task for me. This new experience will enable me, and all of our guests, to shop efficiently and be on our way with no checkout lines and no hassle.
Alyssa Groenig, Director of Sales and Marketing for Community Groceries, said
We are thrilled to work with Community Groceries to unlock a fast and frictionless experience for their shoppers in Kansas City – one we believe they’ll enjoy very much.
Community Groceries is renowned for encouraging healthy lifestyles and focusing first and foremost on their local community, so we’re honored to have them as our first customer in the grocery vertical to launch a Just Walk Out technology and Amazon One-enabled store.
Dilip Kumar, Vice President, AWS Applications, said
Grocery Dive reported, ‘Serving as a vendor, Amazon has licensed its palm-reading tool and Just Walk Out to a number of third-party entertainment and travel environments, including the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Lumen Field in Seattle and Hudson Nonstop at select airports.’
The WinePress reported earlier this year that this technology has spread to Whole Foods stores across the U.S.
Meanwhile stores in the United Kingdom and Ireland are also implementing their own contactless and “frictionless” payment systems.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
Proverbs 26:15
Ah yes, because shopping before was so “tedious” and cumbersome, right? Oh the indignity of it all!
Slowly but surely the sheeple are being primed to accept a cashless society – one of CBDCs, social credit scores, food IDs, vaccine passports, and more; laying the next brick needed to integrate the mark of the beast.
[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:16-18
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I’m avoiding any and all machines as such like the Black Death.
I’m guilty of going into self checkout I’ll confess that fault, but I use debit cards or cash. This “scan your hand and pay” system is a big emphatic No!
Palm of your hand today, right hand or forehead with the microchip tomorrow. RUN AWAY!!!
If you want to have a faster checkout, I recommend asking employees in the technology section (for target) or the bakery/butcher (for Safeway). Literally no one goes there, and if you ask politely, nine times out of ten they’ll service you. Ive been doing it for about a year and I make sure to always pay in cash, plus, I hate the Antichrist.
Also, I rarely shop at Walmart because there is always a long line and having so many people crowded in a small area breeds hostility. Hope this helps.
Great ideas, Sean.
Yes, Walmart, or rather China-Mart with those giant crowds, long lines, and 12 out of 36 checkouts opened, hostility is only fed.
Impatience becomes irritability which if it prolongs becomes rudeness and then hostility and in some cases, violence.
I agree Andrew. 100%.
