    The store requires customers to scan their smartphone on the way in,

    Those without a smartphone will do without.

    Amazon has said the goal isn’t to make retail employees redundant,

    But that is exactly what will happen.

      The future doesn't look so great sometimes.

        I totally agree. And of course I ask the question I always ask when this sort of thing comes up,which is:"How will people be able to afford smart phones,much less shop at your place when virtually everything becomes automated? Will everyone get a money tree??

          Eventually you’ll just have to scan your tattoo, like in Idiocracy.

          That movie predicted everything.

            Almost everything. Still, Amazon may be onto something with a store crammed full of free stuff you help yourself to. Not having any employees makes it a "platform," see? Take that, losses due to employee theft.
