Amazon could be about to launch its own British bricks-and-mortar supermarket where shoppers pay with their phone because it has no cashiers. The internet giant's business idea, called'Amazon Go', allows customers to grab the items they need and walk out without going to a till. A special phone or tablet app uses a range of sensors detecting what shoppers take off shelves and bills it to their Amazon account if they don't put it back. Shoppers use the app to enter the shop through a turnstile - and do the same when leaving with their food later. Amazon has registered a British trademark, paving the way for a potential launch in the country - but it has already built one in Seattle now being tested by staff.
