Enrolling in the Amazon One Palm System via Smartphone

I think I’ve already mentioned that the Amazon Fresh in Upland, California is holding its grand opening in about an hour.

So I figured I should pre-investigate what was necessary to enroll in the Amazon One palm vein system once I arrived at the store.

My first discovery was that Amazon One has its own app, separate from the Amazon app. I don’t know how many apps Amazon has, but if Amazon and Meta ever merge (Amameta?), I will need a separate phone just for its apps.

So I downloaded Amazon One, linked it to my Amazon account, and waited for the instructions on how to enroll my palm at an Amazon location…

…only to find that Amazon One wanted to take pictures of both my palms, right there on my smartphone. Just like any contactless fingerprint app.

So I am now enrolled, and I have confirmed that my local Amazon Fresh accepts Amazon Go.

However, as even non-locals will realize, this is NOT 235 East Foothill, but WEST Foothill. So much for geolocation. (And the location of the Madonna of the Trail statue is wrong also, but I digress.)

Now let’s see if it all works.
