Re: Supermarket Robots
Doesn't matter if it irritates customers or annoys them, this is the way it's going to be so they can lump it, todays customers are tomorrows corpses and the new generation are all that matters to business, so get used to it folks, that's the way of the world, capitalism always wins, I can just hear them singing, Happy days are here again da la la la.Re: Supermarket Robots
I too worry Mark what will be the industries that will pay people so that they can line the pockets of capitalists - it could well be that capitalism is actually bringing about its own demise by going down this route. No buyers = no profits which is what is causing our current problems.Re: Supermarket Robots
Re: Supermarket Robots
The same was said when the industrial age hit. Power looms replaced handcrafted textiles and put many crafters out of business--but it also opened jobs for people to work the factories. It increased production, which increased trade. Robotics are computerized, which means they will go down a lot (especially if they are Microsoft based). People just need to shift their training and education. I doubt many stores will make these a permanent fixture since they will be expensive to buy and expensive to maintain--and from the looks of the video, those things are too clumsy and cannot distinguish objects and have bad aim. Half the time, self-checkouts here are off forcing people to go through the human cashier line, and the hand computers used by managers are never replaced when one breaks down. Most of the time, all the stores I use are void of employees and have a lot of empty shelves. If companies will not pay a human minimum wage to stock the shelves or work the store, I cannot see them forking out big bucks for a million dollar machine that will need constant baby sitting.Re: Supermarket Robots
Re: Supermarket Robots
I used to love working in a factory, would leap at the chance again, detailed work that produced something, working at speed to keep up production and mostly laughing our socks off all day long. Loved every minute.Re: Supermarket Robots
