Are people really convinced that it’s safe to just grab and go from a cashierless Amazon Go store? Depends on who they are, as far as “Saturday Night Live” is concerned.

The show had a go at Go convenience stores on Saturday night in a fake commercial portraying how white and black shoppers may view Amazon’s technology a bit differently.

“At an Amazon Go store, you can just walk in, grab what you want, put it in your bag and just go,” a voiceover says.

“So I just grab what I want and leave? Wow, that’s so easy,” one white shopper (Heidi Gardner) says in the spoof.

“Oh, so you want me to just take something and walk out? Nah, son,” says a black shopper (Kenan Thompson), before adding, “Nice try.”

Actress Zoë Kravitz (“The Batman,” “KIMI”) hosted “SNL” this weekend and appears in the spoof as a shopper who is afraid to just grab a bottle of kombucha and has her white boyfriend do it instead.

When she exits the store she hold her hands up and screams, “I’m with him!”

The first Amazon Go store opened in Seattle in January 2018. “Just Walk Out” refers to the technology that makes the stores actually go, with an array of overhead cameras and shelf sensors to track what shoppers are picking up. The tech is now used in some larger Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods grocery stores as well as places such as Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena.
