One of my favorite YouTubers (Jazzybum) recently took a trip to London with her boyfriend and shopped in the Amazon store there. To enter the store she had to scan her Amazon app then they picked up a bottle of hand sanitizer and looked for where to pay for it. There was no checkout. An employee told them that sensors/cameras in the ceiling of the store tracked everything and would automatically charge her card a while after they left the store. Her boyfriend thought for sure they'd just gotten it for free and was shocked when the notification popped up on her phone a while later showing the purchase. 

 

That will be the future of buying stuff. The store will identify you as you enter, watch you as you shop, then bill you as you leave. Amazon is also said to be selling the technology to interested stores also.

Fly!!! Eagles!!! Fly!!!
