Reply to Amazon sued for not telling New York store customers about facial recognition by thebelsnickle1991
Not quite related to this story. But I was visiting New York in 2020 just before Coronavirus shut down the world. I wanted to show my Wife how an Amazon Go store worked. So I got the App slapped on my credit card and we wandered in. I futzed about picking shit up and leaving it down in wrong places. We leave and can instantly see our receipt.
We leave finish our trip and go home. About a month later. AmazonGo emails me saying they can't bill my card. So I update my card on my account with another. (First one was Visa second one was Mastercard)
They email me again telling me they can't bill me. I email back telling them they've got their choice of 2 cards to charge on if neither of the perfectly valid cards do not work. They have an issue with their payment system. Never heard from them again. So I got $20 dollars of stuff free from AmazonGo cos they couldn't bill me.
Probably not go in again in case there is a Beezo security bot ready to jump me.

Fun fact store cards and Credit cards do the exact same thing.

I don't think they can do basic math to be honest.

I especially find it funny that they have mixed up Royal Mail and Royal Mail international.

And the Royal Mail International will continue to not pay them.

> fair share in taxes
If you knew anything about Rossman's position and belief on what his Taxes (which he does pay contrary to your comment) go towards, you wouldn't have posted a willfully ignorant position like a total dick.

I note he left for completely unrelated reasons to his work advocating for Right to Repair. There were too many problems with his Work in New York but Taxes, Regulation Enforcment and Theft/Vandalism are to new a few.
