Amazon will soon let customers at some Whole Foods stores pay with a simple wave of their hands.
The company announced it is bringing palm scanners to several Seattle-area stores over the next few months. Customers will hold their hands above the scanner for a contact-free payment method.
To use the service, customers will give Whole Foods their credit or debit information to link their palm print. Amazon has already tried the system (which it calls Amazon One) at some Amazon Go Grocery stores. What do you think about the palm payment plan?

Amazon wants to get you out of stores quicker but their new payment option may creep you out a bit.
The company just announced they are expanding testing of their Amazon One contactless payment service, which allows you to purchase items using the palm of your hand. The test will happen at a Whole Foods in Seattle, with plans to expand it to seven more stores.
So, how does someone just pay with their palm? Basically, customers simply link their credit card to their palm (or palms) using the company’s One device. Palms can also be linked to Whole Foods accounts so customers can get their discounts. The set up reportedly takes about a minute, and then shoppers can use their palm whenever they are shopping, with no need to open their wallets.
