Whole Foods scraps dystopian payment method after fury from customers

Every Whole Foods in the US is ripping out its biometric payment method that allows people to pay with their palms after it was shunned by customers.

By June 3, the more than 500 Whole Foods grocery stores across the country, all of which are owned by Amazon, will remove palm scanners from their checkout lines.

The payment method, dubbed Amazon One biometric authentication services, allowed customers to link their Amazon accounts to their palm print. They could then use their hands to pay for groceries or access other services offered by the company.
