Amazon rolling out palm recognition technology as checkout option at Whole Foods

Amazon said Thursday that its checkouts at all Whole Foods Market locations will soon offer its palm recognition technology as a payment method.

The move, announced in a blog post, will lift the total number of Whole Foods stores in the U.S. where customers can use Amazon One palm recognition technology to pay via waving their hand over a special scanner from more than 200 to 500.
