surely u dont expect supermarkets to cater only to people who just want to grab a couple of items and go like as though they are at a petrol station convinence store,can this amazon smart sensor technology handle mass or bulk purchases quickly and accurately without fucking up or making an error somewhere.
theres already technology in australia that can handle light basket purchases,those automatic checkout counters are fantastic,the sensors are extremely fast and sensitive,just scan ur items and bag them,the machine even accepts cash which makes things super convenient.but this amazon tech is promising to revolutionize things,like theres sensors on every shelf or something,and they can literally track the movement of items from shelf to basket or bag or whatever and know exactly what u have at all times and charge it to ur phone.how can such an advance technology not fuck up?not to mention how expensive is it going to be?u need sensors everywhere,and probably need special tags for every product in ur store.
like i've already said, not enthused by it nor think it's going to work. it requires a great amount of labor restocking, correcting missplaced items, cleaning sensors, maintaining systems due to dirt, moisture, fingerprints, saliva, stains, semen, sperm, bodily fluids all over the place. moreover, every food item needs proper packaging and labelling (more expensive). grocery items like freshly picked parsley will have a problem being sealed up in a bag or box as it needs a dose of sprinkled water every 30 minutes and air to breathe.
