When shoppers exit the store, using the same method for entry, Just Walk Out automatically debits their Amazon account for the items they take and then sends a digital receipt to the app.

The new Washington, D.C., store is the first of two Whole Foods Market stores expected to open this year that feature parent company Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology.

Customers choosing Just Walk Out enter the store by scanning the QR code in the Whole Foods or Amazon mobile app, scanning their palm on the Amazon One palm signature device, or inserting a credit/debit card linked to their Amazon account.
