Inside Amazon Go, a Store of the Future

We all know everyone loves Amazon. It's convient, you can find a big range of items for almost anything. Over time its become more popular. New things get added to it all the time. Not to mention Amazon Prime. Order anything and get it shipped to you in two days?! 

 

Now Amazon has decided to become their own store. They've done plenty of surveys finding out that not everyone has internet that wants to order things. Amazon thought about how much more money they could make if they made it easier for everyone to get their products. Not to mention weather delays. The weather has been unpredictable lately.

 

Amazon decided to create their own store and called Amazon Go. This is just like Amazon but in a store. Now it will be easier for those who don't have internet. They can drive to the store themselves. People won't have to worry about weather delays either. If they need it right now they can get it.

 

As of right now Amazon Go is heavily locked down. You have to get patted down, your I.D. has to be checked along with many other security measures. Amazon is taking such precautious measure because they are afraid their store will become a "hot spot" for robberies. 

Question 1: Do you think Amazon Go being heavily secured is a good idea? 

Answer: I understand why they have it so heavily securred, but I feel like people won't want to shop because all the precedures they have to go through to shop.

 

Question 2: Would shop here if came to Harlan?

Answer: I probably would. If it is something I really want now or need I definitely would. I hate waiting to get something shipped to me.

  • You didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 20 points. You also didn't hyplerlink to your story.

  • I do think that having heavy security for a place like this is apropriate seeing as they sell almost anything there and the store would have to be huge and full of stuff. It would be a good spot for many roberies seeing as there is a lot of expensive items in there. I would shop here it it came to Harlan. Amazon is much cheaper than other stores the only downside is the shipping time. It carries almost anything you need and it would be so benificial to have around here. 

  • I think this is a great idea for the Amazon company, I meanthey are a huge thing anyway and this sound like a great next step in there buisness. I would consider shopping there if there was one in town or locally, if I ever wanted anything now or in the future. 

  • Amazon is a very smart company. Amazon Go is a great idea and I agree should be very secured. Amazon should have their property secured because of the popularity of the company. I would definitley shop there because it brings more to the town of Harlan.

  • Yes I do belivev that having it heavily secured is a very good idea. If it was secure I think there would be a ton of robberies. If you think about it Amazon carries many electonics, which are of high value. Yes, I for sure would shop there if a shop came to Harlan. I think many people would also. Amazon carries a ton of diffrent items whohc would make it a more popluar store then like Target. 

  • I understand why they are doing it but it's gonna reallly push away customers that they could be getting. Customers don't have time to go through precautions. If it came to Harlan I would probably go just because the idea of it sounds cool.

  • I know the fears of being robbed but I think they are taking it a little to seriously which will turn away customers. A better way to go about it would be ro install more cameras and a possible just use a screening machine like they use at air ports instead of doing a pat down, it makes it less awkward and way more efficiant. If it came to Harlan I would probably shop there because it would be everything that you could need in one store also no more delays and waiting for a week to get what you want. 

  • I can understand why it would be heavily secured, but I don't think it's a good idea because it will most likely limit their buiness because people don't want to go through processes just to buy a couple of things and they weill just stick to the online store where it is easier to shop. I might shop there, but I'd rather just do everything online to make it easier.

  • It is a good thing for it to have a high level of security because if they had little to no security then someone could rob them and can get almost anything they would need.

    Yes because i could get something for school or for myself and it could be almost anything. There everyone has a much bigger amount of choices to buy from.

  • I understand that they want heavily security because they don't want to get robbes, but I don't think many people want to go through all of that everytime they go shop. I would shop there if it came to Harlan, mostly because I shop on Amazon a lot.
