Text 3A9-I 

   Amazon said Monday it will begin selling the cashierless checkout technology that powers its Go stores to other retailers. The “Just Walk Out” technology enables shoppers to “take what they want and leave” without the need to stop and stand in a checkout line. Cameras and other sensors through the store monitor which items shoppers take with them and charge them automatically when they leave.

   Amazon told CNBC it has already inked several deals with retailers interested in bringing the cashierless technology to their stores. An Amazon spokesperson declined to comment on which companies plan to use the technology or how much Amazon is charging them to use it. Amazon said it takes a few weeks for it to install the cashierless technology in retailers’ stores, depending on whether it’s being implemented in a new or existing store. For existing stores, Amazon said it will “work with retailer to install the technology while minimizing impact on current operations.”

   Unlike at Amazon Go stores, where users scan the Go app on a turnstile when they enter, shoppers scan their credit card on the turnstile at a store with the Just Walk Out technology. If shoppers need a receipt, they can visit a kiosk at the store and enter their email address, Amazon said. A receipt will be automatically sent to their email address the next time they visit any store with the cashierless technology.

   Amazon can tailor marketing and gain valuable insights into customer purchasing habits by tracking activity at its Go stores. However, Amazon said it won’t collect any other user data beyond a shopper’s email in order to send receipts. “Shoppers can think of this as similar to typical security camera footage,” Amazon added.

   The move comes as Amazon continues to build out its network of 25 Go stores across the country. Last month, Amazon launched its first, full-size, cashierless supermarket, called Go Grocery, not far from its Seattle headquarters. CNBC previously reported Amazon is considering bringing the technology to airport shops and movie theaters.

   Amazon said its Go stores will begin acccaepting cash last year after the company came under fire for discriminating against the unbanked. Amazon told CNBC it will be up to retailers to decide whether they want to accept cash at stores that license the company’s Just Walk Out technology. Some states, like New Jersey, have new laws banning stores that don’t accept cash.

Comentários

• Amazon said its Go stores will begin acccaepting cash last year after the company came under fire for discriminating against the unbanked. Amazon told CNBC it will be up to retailers to decide whether they want to accept cash at stores that license the company’s Just Walk Out technology. Some states, like New Jersey, have new laws banning stores that don’t accept cash.

  Gab.: E

• A) the cashierless checkout technology and the Amazon Go stores work pretty much the same way. Errado, pois "cachierless checktout technology" é o recurso (o princípio) por trás das Amazon Go stores, que são as lojas propriamente ditas. Uma coisa é uma coisa, outra coisa é outra coisa.

  B) one of these technology's disadvantages is that shoppers will not be able to receive a receipt of their purchase. Errado, pois os consumidores poderão ter o recibo. Veja: If shoppers need a receipt, they can visit a kiosk at the store and enter their email address, Amazon said.

  C) in both "Just Walk Out" technology and Amazon Go stores the customers have to scan their credit cards. Errado, pois nas "Amazon Go stores" não é necessário escanear o cartão de crédito. Os clientes escaneiam o Go app numa catraca. Veja: Unlike at Amazon Go stores, where users scan the Go app on a turnstile when they enter, shoppers scan their credit card on the turnstile at a store with the Just Walk Out technology.

  D) retailers which will have this cashierless checkout technology will not have the choice to accepct cash at their stores. Errado, pois o texto diz que caberá aos lojistas a decisão de aceitar dinheiro em espécie nas lojas que usam a Just Walk Out technology. Veja: Amazon told CNBC it will be up to retailers to decide whether they want to accept cash at stores that license the company’s Just Walk Out technology.

  E) (GABARITO) Amazon Go stores will start accepcting cash, for they have been accused of discrimination against people who do not have a bank account. Certo. Previsão expressa no texto, veja: Amazon said its Go stores will begin acccaepting cash last year after the company came under fire for discriminating against the unbanked.

• O chamado chamado questão diz: "It can be concluded from the text..." que significa "Pode ser concluído a partir do texto...". Geralmente podemos encontrar a conclusão de um texto em sem último parágrafo, e foi o que aconteceu nesta questão, no último parágrafo temos:  "Amazon said its Go stores will begin acccaepting cash last year after the company came under fire for discriminating against the unbanked." que nos leva ao gabarito da questão, GAB E.

• A questão cobra interpretação de um texto sobre lojas da Amazon que operam sem a necessidade do cliente parar e ficar na fila do caixa.

  Essa afirmação está errada. A justificativa se encontra no seguinte trecho do parágrafo 3:
  Unlike at Amazon Go stores, where users scan the Go app on a turnstile when they enter, shoppers scan their credit card on the turnstile at a store with the Just Walk Out technology. (Ao contrário das lojas Amazon Go, onde os usuários escaneiam o aplicativo Go em uma catraca quando entram, os compradores digitalizam seu cartão de crédito na catraca de uma loja com a tecnologia Just Walk Out.). Portanto, Amazon Go usa um aplicativo, enquanto que a tecnologia de checkout sem caixa utiliza cartão de crédito digitalizado.

  Tradução - uma das desvantagens dessa tecnologia é que os clientes não poderão receber o recibo de sua compra.
  Essa afirmação está errada. A justificativa se encontra no seguinte trecho do parágrafo 3:
  If shoppers need a receipt, they can visit a kiosk at the store and enter their email address, Amazon said. A receipt will be automatically sent to their email address the next time they visit any store with the cashierless technology. (Se os clientes precisarem de um recibo, eles podem visitar um quiosque na loja e inserir seu endereço de e-mail, disse a Amazon. Um recibo será enviado automaticamente para seu endereço de e-mail na próxima vez que visitarem qualquer loja com a tecnologia cashierless.)
  
  C) Incorreto - in both “Just Walk Out" technology and Amazon Go stores the customers have to scan their credit cards.
  Tradução - na tecnologia “Just Walk Out" e nas lojas Amazon Go, os clientes precisam digitalizar seus cartões de crédito.
  Essa afirmação está errada. A justificativa se encontra no seguinte trecho do parágrafo 3:

  Essa afirmação está errada. A justificativa se encontra no seguinte trecho do parágrafo 6:
  Amazon told CNBC it will be up to retailers to decide whether they want to accept cash at stores that license the company's Just Walk Out technology. Some states, like New Jersey, have new laws banning stores that don't accept cash. (A Amazon disse à CNBC que caberá aos varejistas decidir se querem aceitar dinheiro em lojas que licenciam a tecnologia Just Walk Out da empresa. Alguns estados, como Nova Jersey, têm novas leis que proíbem lojas que não aceitam dinheiro.)
  
  E) Correto - Amazon Go stores will start accepting cash, for they have been accused of discrimination against people who do not have a bank account.
  Tradução - As lojas Amazon Go passarão a aceitar dinheiro, pois foram acusadas de discriminação contra pessoas que não possuem conta em banco.
  Essa afirmação está certa. A justificativa se encontra no seguinte trecho do parágrafo 6:
  Amazon said its Go stores will begin accepting cash after the company came under fire for discriminating against the unbanked. (A Amazon disse que suas lojas Go começarão a receber dinheiro depois que a empresa foi criticada por discriminar pessoas sem conta em banco.)
