Provided you are a law abiding member of society walking out of a shop without paying certainly feels a little strange - but that is how it works in the new Market Express shop at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, thanks to the new 'Just Walk Out' technology provided by Amazon.

00:00 Hi, we're here at the opening of Prince's Royal Hospital's new entrance.

00:05 They've got a new cost of coffee in here, they've got a new admin hub, but they also have this

00:10 Market Express store which uses frictionless just walk out technology

00:16 from Amazon. Now the way this works, I'm going to try and show you, is you go in, you

00:21 swipe your card on the way in, and you just pick up what you want, walk out and you

00:25 get debited. Interesting, we'll give it a go. So, just walk in, swipe your card on this,

00:36 done that, now this should just let us in. Okay, so, you can see, chocolate bars, plenty of chocolate bars,

00:47 healthy, more healthy foods, got a yoghurt bar stuff. So what are we going to grab?

00:55 I'm going to try and grab something, don't judge me on this, we're going to go for

01:02 Twix this time. Everyone likes a Twix. They've got beef jerky, crisps, they've got pasties,

01:13 sandwiches, milk, we've got biscuits, coffee. This place is open 24 hours which

01:25 represents quite a bit of difference for PRH, so it means staff who are working

01:29 here, they'll be able to come and get a snack, means if you've got, if you're an A&E,

01:33 if you're waiting here with a member of the family or whatever, you'll be able to come down

01:36 and get a snack when you need. So, in theory, I'm going to walk out now and it should just

01:43 let me out, no problems. I'll give it a go.

01:47 That's it, walked out, there we go. My bank should now be debited. We'll see what happens.
