The newest Amazon Go store will be doing something old: accepting cash
Amazon is opening its 12th high-tech convenience store Tuesday in New York. The location will be the first of the chain to allow customers to pay with cash. The move comes amid growing backlash against cashless stores, which critics say exclude people who don't have bank accounts. Amazon Go announced in April it will begin accepting cash, but didn't say where. At other locations, shoppers enter by scanning the Amazon Go app.
The store is in Brookfield Place mall in Lower Manhattan.Amazon said it will begin accepting cash at its other Go stores"over time." A number of retailers and restaurants, such as salad chain Sweetgreen and taco restaurant Dos Toros Taqueria, are facing roadblocks to their cashless initiatives.New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy recently signed a law banning cashless stores in that state.
