    Wonder if ‘just walk out’ not scaling up had anything to do with it:

      Or they got the behavioral data they needed and shutdown the project.

        They already bought Whole Foods.

        Their systems for the just-walk-out technology never worked right, and they just ended up opening grocery stores in sketchy locations in an already-crowded market.

            How did they ruin it? I don’t really shop there because I don’t want to spend eight dollars on asparagus water.

            I used to like Whole Foods :(

            I don’t shop at Sprout’s anymore either since I found out they donate to the GOP…
