Amazon Go, the app-enabled stores that enable customers to simply walk out with their purchases – no checkout clerk needed – plans to begin accepting cash amid growing criticism that the process discriminates against low-income shoppers. 

The streamlined convenience stores, which launched last year, feature meals, snacks, grocery items and at some locations, beer, wine and spirits.
