Tesco takes on Amazon Fresh with launch of ‘just walk out’ store

GetGo store uses weight sensors and skeleton outlines to track shoppers, who are billed when they leave

Tesco is fighting back against Amazon with its first just walk out" store, where it is possible to buy groceries without having to scan items or visit a till.

The supermarket's GetGo store in Holborn, central London, follows a small trial of a similar store at Tesco head office in Welwyn Garden City, which has been selling goods to the retailer's staff since 2019.
