rumor said it uses the Amazon Go tech
Waste of marketing money
Thanks for your insight Amex senior strategic analyst
"WHAT HAPPENS IF A CARD MEMBER DRINKS/EATS PART OF THE ITEM BEFORE REPLACING IT ON A SHELF? HOW IS THIS MITIGATED AND/OR RECORDED?"
That's it. You're definitely getting the popup for life now.
They take a bucket and two fingers and claw it back
Do it. I dare you. Don’t look at the camera.
I would be outraged if this happens.
Same as in any regular grocery store, cops pick you up at the exit.
Was there for Nets/Celtics last week. Swipe your card to enter, it's pretty small. If they had beer would be a great place to pop in and out but the closest they have is non-alcoholic beer for $10 each.
It would be sweet if one can use their MR points to make purchases at a higher-than-normal rate (1.5 cpp)... Unlikely, I know, but wouldn't it be nice as a perk, also bragging rights
Stop smoking... people would fly to NYC for this if they offered. They currently offer a redemption rate of 0.6cpp.
RAT will also be onsite to knee cap anyone trying to pay with something besides an AMEX
Probably more like .5 cpp. But hey the Points Guys will see it as major value!
