How about Amazon Convenience Store Technology at Disney Shops?

Just read an article today about how Amazon is close to opening its first public convenience store where customers can walk in, take what they need off the shelf, and walk out and their account will automatically be charged, no waiting in line required.

How awesome would it be if Disney integrated this technology into their shops? Some of the longest lines I've waited on is to buy store merchandise, especially during busy times, and when I have fast passes for all the rides I want to do.

You could walk into the store, touch your band to the merchandise tag (or tag on the shelf), and either walk out with your purchase without waiting in line, or, if you're staying on property, just walk out and it magically appears at your hotel later...would save all that time filling out the paperwork!
 
With thousands of customers with MagicBands (many being grade school kids) on super-busy days of shopping in dozens of stores...
consider the number of "oops purchases" (many showing up at guest's resorts couple of days later) that could happen.

:eek:

Easily solved by putting an "enable" or "disable" button in the app for families for the magic band to function in this way. Or better yet, instead just have a notification sent through the app each time this function is used that requires confirmation of the purchase.
 
People frequently get other people's photos in their MDE account. I couldn't imagine the uproar at guest service if someone got someone else's charge.

Cool concept though
