how exactly is someone charged when they don't have an amazon account / connected phone / whatever method of payment is being used here? are you saying you need to swipe your card on the way in?

They're using computer vision to identify when a customer takes a product off a shelf, or puts a product back on the shelf. That customer's virtual cart is updated in turn, and charged after the customer leaves the store. The people are what's being tracked going in and out, not the products.
