Ideas for fooling Amazon Go

Amazon Go is a grocery store that does away with checkout lines by using computer vision to figure out what you purchased.

What happens if you…

• Take an item off the shelf and give it to someone else.
• Go shopping with your identical twin.
• Use the restroom to put on a face mask.
• Take two products off the shelf, swap the labels, and put the cheaper one back.
• Bring an empty food container from your last visit, take the same item from the shelf, and put the empty container back.
  • An optimization: open prepackaged food, eat it in the store, then reseal the packaging and put it back.

Thanks Chaiwen Chou and Mitchell Gouzenko for the inspiration.
