NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 07: People shop at the newly opened Amazon Go Store on May 07, 2019 in New York City. The cashier-less store, the first of this type of store, called Amazon Go, accepts cash and is the 12th such store in the United States located at Brookfield Place in downtown New York. The roughly 1,300-square-foot store sells a variety of food items, prepared meals and Amazon's own meal kits. It is believed that by 2021 Amazon is considering opening up as many as 3,000 of its cashier-free stores across the United States. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

How Amazon is doubling down on physical retail: Amazon brought its cashier-less Amazon Go store concept to New York City on Tuesday, with a twist—this Go store accepts cash. It is the 12th Amazon Go store in the U.S., the first in New York, and the first to accept cash. And Amazon plans to start accepting cash at all the other Go stores too.
