The store, called Amazon Go, doesn't work like a typical Walmart — instead, shoppers use an app, also called Amazon Go, to scan the products they plan to buy, then they can walk out of the building without waiting in a a checkout line.  The idea is that Amazon's machine learning technology can automatically identify when a product is added to your cart, so you don't have to do it yourself. When you leave the store, Amazon automatically charges your Amazon account.  The stores will sell ready-made food, staples like bread and milk, and other grocery products. Amazon says their stores are about 1,800 square feet, so they are relatively small compared to big supermarkets.  The first Amazon Go store is located in Seattle, Washington, and it will open to the public in early 2017. Here's what it's like to shop in one: SEE ALSO: Amazon is doubling down on retail stores with plans to have up to 100 pop-up stores in US shopping malls Amazon Go sells prepared foods and other grocery staples. Everyone who shops needs an Amazon Go app. You scan a QR code when you walk in. You scan the app on a futuristic turnstile when you enter the store.
