For a store that promised to eliminate queues, it seems as though the only queue for Amazon’s Go store in Seattle was the one to get in.

I’m in Seattle and there is currently a line to shop at the grocery store whose entire premise is that you won’t have to wait in line. pic.twitter.com/fWr80A0ZPV

Long Line of people now wrapped outside the @Amazon Go Store in Downtown Seattle where it’s advertised as a store with no queues inside the store. The big crowd today may change that … at least for now. @KIRO7Seattle pic.twitter.com/NKRQQ70IPd

The "Just walk in, take what you want and leave" promise from Amazon Go apparently left out the "wait in line" part https://t.co/GUp0sDGpxf

Hmmm, lunchtime the first day a new kind of store is open has a line. That invalidates the entire idea of @amazon Go! (FYI – I went there at 10 and walked right in.) https://t.co/q4Z36PFCwc
