Amazon is removing the Just Walk Out technology from its Fresh stores in favor of smart carts that offer real-time tracking of purchases. Amazon's smart carts will allow customers to skip checkout lines and instantly view their receipts and savings, a change first reported by The Information and driven by customer preferences. Amazon, has numerous Fresh grocery stores primarily located in California, Illinois, Virginia, and Washington, alongside its cashier-less Amazon Go stores and Whole Foods, which it acquired in 2017. Amazon has faced challenges in the grocery sector, leading to the closure of some Fresh and Go locations and a halt to the expansion of Fresh stores.
