Amazon Says It Won't Replace Whole Foods Cashiers With Computers... Yet (cnbc.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Amazon said it has no current plans to automate the jobs of cashiers in Whole Foods stores after it finishes acquiring the grocery chain. It also isn't planning any layoffs, according to a spokesperson. There is some speculation, however, that Amazon may change its plans and use new technology inside of Whole Foods locations. Commenting on Amazon's announcement from earlier today, LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner said, "Only one company on earth can buy grocery chain, be rumored to buy enterprise software company & in both cases be lauded for strategic vision."
Tattoos are ugly. Yes all of them. But I guess it's no worse than hiring ugly cashiers. It's not like every cashier at whole foods is a hot girl. Although if I were in charge they would be. Obviously robot babe cashiers would be better than human ones though.
Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.
