Provided you are a law abiding member of society walking out of a shop without paying certainly feels a little strange - but that is how it works in the new Market Express shop at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, thanks to the new 'Just Walk Out' technology provided by Amazon.
Transcript
00:00 Hi, we're here at the opening of Prince's Royal Hospital's new entrance.
00:05 They've got a new cost of coffee in here, they've got a new admin hub, but they also have this
00:10 Market Express store which uses frictionless just walk out technology
00:16 from Amazon. Now the way this works, I'm going to try and show you, is you go in, you
00:21 swipe your card on the way in, and you just pick up what you want, walk out and you
00:25 get debited. Interesting, we'll give it a go. So, just walk in, swipe your card on this,
00:36 done that, now this should just let us in. Okay, so, you can see, chocolate bars, plenty of chocolate bars,
00:47 healthy, more healthy foods, got a yoghurt bar stuff. So what are we going to grab?
00:55 I'm going to try and grab something, don't judge me on this, we're going to go for
01:02 Twix this time. Everyone likes a Twix. They've got beef jerky, crisps, they've got pasties,
01:13 sandwiches, milk, we've got biscuits, coffee. This place is open 24 hours which
01:25 represents quite a bit of difference for PRH, so it means staff who are working
01:29 here, they'll be able to come and get a snack, means if you've got, if you're an A&E,
01:33 if you're waiting here with a member of the family or whatever, you'll be able to come down
01:36 and get a snack when you need. So, in theory, I'm going to walk out now and it should just
01:43 let me out, no problems. I'll give it a go.
01:47 That's it, walked out, there we go. My bank should now be debited. We'll see what happens.
