Amazon plans to open as many as 3,000 of its cashier-less Amazon Go convenience stores by the year 2021, according to a report from Bloomberg today. That would be Amazon’s most aggressive move in the brick-and-mortar space since its purchase of Whole Foods in 2016. It would also significantly alter the company’s potential offline retail success as it moves to compete with grocery stores brands like Kroger, convenience and liquor stores like CVS and 7-Eleven, and big-box retailers like Walmart and Target.
The first Go store, which use sensors and lightweight automation software to let customers shop and checkout without interacting with a human employee or kiosk, first opened in Seattle in late 2016. Since then, Amazon has studied its model carefully and resisted moving too quickly in expanding the model. The second ever Go store opened just last month, also in Seattle, while another in Chicago opened its doors earlier this week, marking the first Go store to open outside Amazon’s home state and city. More stores are planned for the Chicago and San Francisco areas later this year and in 2019, according to recent job listings.
However, the report portrays Amazon’s ambition for its Go stores as much, much grander than what the company has publicly expressed in the past. According to the report, CEO Jeff Bezos imagines the Go stores taking on a number of different configurations, including stores for freshly made packaged meals and ones designed more like 7-Eleven with limited grocery selections and pre-made food options. If Amazon does experiment with numerous different models for Go, the company and its cashier-less model threaten to put it in competition with even fast food and fast casual dining establishments.
Stocks for big-box retailers like Walmart and Target began sliding following the news, as it’s now clear Amazon could, in a few short years, begin seriously eating into the traditional grocery, restaurant, and household good markets.
you kinda remind me of a fat kid who stands outside of an amusement park, all by yourself, holding a piece of paper that says 'i don't like having fun'….
nobody cares
we're all too busy having fun

this story is not important, in the big picture
however, what IS important is your plan for the immediate future….
you are in a downward spiral, not accomplishing anything, no girlfriend, no boyfriend, no real life friends at all, but you sit here everyday feverishly copying and pasting other websites legitimate news articles, spending your entire life focused on presenting other people's news stories to a handful of idiots here in this crappy website….
life is passing you by…
somebody is paying your bills, wiping your ass and, just so you can sit here in Zig Forums copying and pasting boring news stories….
it's time you started making a decision what you're going to do with your life…

Friendly reminder that this is the ultimate goal of the rural purge.
Kayden Lopez
discourteous reminder that there is no such thing as a Rural Purge
He might be referring to Amazon's promotion of a cashless society aka a UN Agenda 21/2030 goal.

Ahhhhhhh, so thats what led to the destruction of TV and good 'ol shows like Andy Griffith? Makes sense! Yep, the communists don't like the Americana themes because it stands for everything they are against.

your parents were concerned about you from very early on, then after your father finally gave up and divorced your mother, she continued to worry about you, even though she enabled your sedentary lack of motivation and inability to accomplish even the most simple of tasks….
her friends would continually ask her if you had snapped out of it yet, if you had a girlfriend like normal young men….
she finally just gave up, and started lying to her friends, telling them you had a 'lack of oxygen at birth'…. but that's not true…
although I read your words, I managed to replace them in my mind with a series of other substitute words, where I cleaned a completely different message….
and in response, let me answer your question by assuring you that Tony Orlando And Dawn were not the first performers to sing that song…..

Pol: you need to use our system! The left wants you dead! I believe that there is only opinion left and opinion right so I am not an ignorant fucktards! We are going to make America great again! Education, jobs, politics, economics are all fucked by evil corrupt people who don't care about the average citizen!
*Humans suffer because of greed which causes the fifty million government employees to refuse to make adjustments to the economy based on technological advancement which leads to everyone relying on socialist government programs *
Pol: hahaha human suffering is good! I just conned all of you! I don't give a fuck about anyone but myself! You dumb socialists! I just helped create a socialist system by ignoring the economy but that's because you are a socialist! Dumb ass libtards haha you want a liveable wage? You dumb fucks actually think we are making America great again? This entire thing was about restoring power to spoiled rich white kids. How else can these prep school brats be in charge and get away with sexual assault. Donald trump has been accused by countless people of sexual assault because he's a narcissistic psychopath who knows he can buy himself out of anything. This is confirmed by the countless people he literally paid off so they had to keep quiet about his cRimes. He can actually ruin the life of people he raped if they violate agreements that say "don't talk about this rapists rape , this is what the United States stands for, if you have money you can rape and rape people more for talking about it" and you actually think he's some divine savior hahahahahaha
