Customers scan their smartphones to enter, cameras monitor what they take from the shelves, and Amazon bills their credit card on file after they leave.

Amazon.com Inc opened a compact version of its cashier-less Amazon Go food stores, broadening its footprint in the bricks-and-mortar world in a move to add shops in places such as office lobbies and hospitals.

Located in one of the company’s Seattle offices, the eighth Amazon Go store is near the original and a quarter the size, at a mere 41sq m. That is about the size of a New York City studio apartment.
