The company has a string of stores in America called Amazon Go, where customers can simply walk into the store and go. The stores contain security cameras that monitor people as they buy and charge their account instead of having them pay physical cash.
The highest rating for an Amazon listing is five stars, but the store took the average ratings of all the products in the store and found it was 4.4 stars. Taken together, the in-store products have been rated with 1.8 million five-star reviews. But still, the store went with the name ‘4-Star’.

The store will start by selling its most popular products from the website like consumer electronics, kitchen, home, toys, books, and games. Additionally, Amazon Prime members will get cheaper prices.
The store opened on Thursday and is located at 72 Spring Street in Manhattan. It’s open seven days a week, but unlike the internet, it closes for the night.
