Picture Post: Pour one out for Amazon Go. I did think it was an interesting concept, but the tech just wasn’t there – even for Amazon – and I can’t imagine the startup costs for one were cheap.

I’d always pop in one when I’d visit Seattle, but not being open on weekends sure didn’t help add to any success. I think the US does have a market for better convenience stores though. They’re just so much better overseas. (Wawa is pretty good though.)
