This is happening a LOT faster than I thought....

Amazon Go will eliminate checkout lines at for a grocery and food-takeout store in Seattle, WA.
Where will Amazon put all these AmazonGO stores? My guess is the empty Sears and other department stores in malls and strip malls that have ample parking but it will also be popular on major arteries with bus routes as you could pick up a couple days of meals at a time on your way home on the bus and pretty much eliminate the "Need" for a car to take you shopping for fresh food.
Recall that Seattle wages jump to $15/hr Jan. 1....

from murray.seattle.gov
Schedule 1 employers (more than 500 employees in the U.S.)Schedule 1 employers shall pay each employee an hourly minimum wage of at least:

$11.00 by April 1, 2015$13.00 by January 1, 2016$15.00 by January 1, 2017Effective January 1, 2018, the hourly minimum wage paid by a Schedule 1 employer shall be increased annually on a percentage basis to reflect the rate of inflation and calculated to the nearest cent on January 1 of each year thereafter
