71 LOL Amazon's soon to be defunct "cashier-less" grocery stores "relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts" (archive.is) posted 235 days ago by lgbtqwtfbbq 235 days ago by lgbtqwtfbbq +71 / -0 67 comments share 67 comments share save hide report block hide replies
I wouldn't be surprised if the Indians turned it into a TV show called 'illiterate or criminal'
Between thinking these stores would work in a low trust society to outsourcing the security measures to another country, this seemed destined to fail.
Even with basic bitch self-checkout, you have people "accidentally" scanning items wrong—or not at all. Even heard rumors Walmart, Target, etc. are considering getting rid of the kiosks since they're losing so much money to shrink.
