WHAT

So Amazon is phasing out their checkout-less grocery stores.

They had this "Just Walk Out" technology, where you just pick up things and walk out and it bills you for what you took without check out.

They claimed it was automatic and AI powered but
it was actually 1,000+ Indian employees monitoring you as you walked through the store. Only 30% of purchases were successfully processed automatically.

YES THIS IS NOT AN APRIL'S FOOL.

@domi @iro_miya although considering it's not as slow as the amazon thing, maybe not actually?

@jeder @domi @iro_miya I find the thought of żabka doing something that amazon didn't and lied about hilarious

@blobcat @domi @jeder @iro_miya I don't get this idea, what's the point of shoplifting if you then pay for it? lol

@piggo @domi @iro_miya @blobcat yes but these will be most likely absolutely empty with no queues and shit, something normal shops will always have because self-checkouts are fucking dumb
