If you have been to a Whole Foods recently, you have probably seen the scanners that allow you to pay with your palm because setting up an account with Amazon and giving them your information is just waaay easier than pulling out a wallet out of your pocket.
Well that palm scanning technology, aka Amazon One, (maybe because Prime or Plus was taken) is coming, albeit slowly, to a bar near you. Not only does it pay the barkeep but it also is an age gate.
But Amazon isn’t doing this for you, they are doing it for the data and you will probably not be surprised to find out that Amazon One’s palm scanner also keeps a record of your scans, and that record will be available to that barkeep you just paid. Now, that is good in that you may be prevented from having too many drinks but but do you want that data out there?
Amazon One plans will give it a test drive in Denver at the Sandlot Brewery and Silver Bullet Bar, at Coors Field where the MLB’s Colorado Rockies play baseball slightly better than the Nuggets play baseball.
