But according to Walmart corporate, shoplifting is at an all time high... because people using self check out deliberately don't scan all items.
Walmart installed cameras at each self checkout in effort to detect these thefts, ensure and enforce honesty. Good luck with that!
The dim bulbs who think up these job eliminating schemes; robotic cars, self checkout... are like the EV engineers who insist evs are emissions clean. Yeah, at the tailpipe. Byproducts of energy required to run the ev emerge not from the tailpipe, but a smokestack somewhere else. Same emissions. Different location.
It's funny. The yahoodeehoos who tie job creation and ability with strength of the economy also applaud creation of automation that eliminates not just jobs, but entire workforces.
Fickle? Or ####le?
