So what happens when someone asks a good samaritan to help them get some expensive item off of a high shelf? How does this deal with things like a couple shopping together, one with an Amazon account and one without where both of them are getting items off of the shelves?

Even if all of the video was monitored by a human I can still envision several pitfalls to this where it's hard to know who to bill for what without interacting with the customer.

People shopping with children would also be a big issue, it seems. Somehow it seems they will need to deal with the multiple-shopper case (no idea how to solve the "Have someone else get the item off the shelf for you" case).
