Amazon is installing its cashier-less"Just Walk Out" technology at the locations, which are set to open in 2022 in Washington D.C. and Sherman Oaks, California. It's the latest test of the software, which is already used at Amazon Go convenience stores as well as Amazon Fresh grocery stores, a new, growing line of supermarkets that Amazon has been opening. Amazon also sells the software to other retailers.

At the end, customers scan the QR code again to leave the store and receive a digital receipt. The technology is only available to customers with Amazon accounts, and shoppers without them will pay using self-checkout stations.
