Updated 3/11/2021 4:18 PM On the opening day of Bloomingdale's Amazon Fresh grocery store, customers arrived Thursday to find options like carts that handle checkout and departed with free keepsakes of the conglomerate's newest endeavor. Some customers tried the Dash Cart, a shopping cart equipped with cameras and sensors to detect and tally items as they are placed in the cart, including weighing produce. A credit card is billed to the user as the customer leaves the store, bypassing checkout lines, and a receipt is emailed.
