Instead, Amazon Fresh tracks what customers take from the shelves using special cameras and sensors. Ikuna had assumed that her shopping would be somehow scanned and calculated using the bar codes on the labels, but all products in the bakery section were unwrapped and had no labels. Considering how much food costs in London, it was very reasonable! This Lamb Mazemen broth-less ramen was just £4 (around 650 yen, or US$4.50). Many of the products on sale in the store were Amazon’s own brand, and the prices were pretty decent.
There was even sushi, much to Ikuna’s delight! …and the meat and cheese section was impressive too. There was an nice selection of fruit and vegetables… Instead, shoppers can use these free paper bags to put their items in directly as they walk around the store. to 11 p.m., making it super convenient!Īside from the member of staff at the entrance to help customers as they enter the shop there was only one other member of staff, manning the pick up and returns counter. From the outside, the shop had seemed roughly the size of a convenience store, but looking around it seemed big enough to stock almost all everyday essentials. Once Ikuna had scanned her QR code, she was inside the store, which was surprisingly larger than she’d expected. It seemed simple enough, but even so, for first timers the process might be a little intimidating luckily, a member of staff was on-hand nearby to help anyone who was having trouble.

In order to enter the store, you need to scan a special QR code you access through an Amazon app on your cellphone. The store Ikuna had come across was close to the Angel underground station in Islington, and even before she’d entered the store she was pretty impressed with how shiny and new everything looked.
#IKUNA PALAVI HOW TO#
▼ Most stores don’t need instructions on how to get in, but Amazon Fresh isn’t ‘most stores’. Shoppers then get charged for any items they took via their Amazon account after they’ve left the store just grab your items and go. The store made news around the world when it first opened back in 2020 thanks to its unique shopping system after scanning a special QR code upon entering, simply take the items you want and walk out of the shop. It was a branch of Amazon Fresh, Amazon’s unmanned supermarket which currently only has stores in the US (where it is known as Amazon Go) and the UK. Our travel-hungry Japanese reporter Ikuna Kamezawa loves jet-setting around Europe, and on a recent trip to London she came across a store with a familiar looking logo. Amazon’s innovative ‘no checkout required’ supermarket leaves our reporter feeling uneasy.
