Amazon is phasing out its checkout-less grocery stores with “Just Walk Out” technology, first reported by The Information Tuesday. The company’s senior vice president of grocery stores says they’re moving away from Just Walk Out, which relied on cameras and sensors to track what people were leaving the store with.
This feels so creepy to, being watched spending your money by slaves on the other side of the globe, and Amazon pretending it to be automated !
Is it surprising for a company running a service called Mechanical Turk?
1000 employees is also insane for ~20 locations. 60-80 cashiers would do a better job and not require slave wages to make the store viable.
Slaves?
That’s a bit harsh right, low-payed workers is more appropriate
