Thursday, May 26 Happy Thursday, Talking Tech readers! It's Brett Molina taking a break from his third binge-watch of "Stranger Things" to bring you the big headlines in tech.  Let's kick things off with Amazon, the online retailer responsible for upending the brick-and-mortar retailer only to open up its own physical stores. On Wednesday, the company opened Amazon Style, a clothing store in Glendale, Calif., leveraging technology to beef up the shopping experience. So what makes shopping at Amazon Style special? Amazon Shopping app. Instead of rifling through racks of clothes, you scan a QR code on the item you like. The app then tells you details like sizes and colors available. The magic fitting room. Once you've picked out clothes, either you send them to a checkout counter or get placed in a virtual queue for a fitting room to try clothes on. Employees will pull your items together and leave them in the personalized fitting room. Checkout is super quick, too. Scan a QR code or use Amazon One, the checkout option where you can scan your palm to pay, and you're all done. Don't worry, you can still use old school cash or credit if needed. Of course, this concept isn't new to Amazon. They've been experimenting with it for a while with its Amazon Go convenience stores. Would you like shopping at a store like this?
