Fortunately my Amazon branded subcutaneous chip still works at Wholefoods.

Did the humans pretending to be the AI unionize?

this is pretty surprising. Didn't they spent a fortune on the camera tech for Amazon Go?

I don't know about other areas, but here in the Bay Area (or at least Silicon Valley) our Whole Foods has subsumed all the services provided by Amazon Fresh (and Go really never worked). So we're not really losing any services, just the brand name.

Oh no! Anyway

Not surprised at all

amazon fresh never really made much sense to me alongside wfm.

Once their vision for "grab and go" vanished due to technological infeasibility [1] the entire premise for the stores vanished as well.

I suspect that they wanted to take a hail marry to see if somehow it was possible to get much greater efficiency compared to standard grocers, and it looks like that failed.

[1] it may come back. The technology is rapidly improving but they have bigger fish to fry ATM.

It's a trap!

I honestly thought they closed them alreay.
