"Opening at 2301 S. Jackson Street, Central District’s 35,000-square-foot Amazon Fresh store debuts on August 12 as the region’s second Amazon Fresh (following Bellevue). The outpost features technological bells and whistles like an Amazon Dash Cart outfitted with sensors to automatically charge customers for whatever they put in the cart while still offering human cashiers, but it will not include the “Just Walk Out” overhead-camera feature used at some other Amazon stores; both Dash Cart and Just Walk Out can link to customers’ Amazon accounts via QR codes, and Amazon says it treats any sensitive data in accordance with its long-standing privacy and security policies." - Gabe Guarente
