The next online battle appears to be in the grocery industry.
Here is an article discussing all that Kroger is looking at doing to take on Amazon and Walmart. They are really looking to change how people get their groceries. I posted a video about this in here the other day.

Yea it seems like its the move that most corporations are going. I wonder if Target is also going this route because they seem to be more proud of their employees.

Are robots considered Woke?

No unless the programmer behind it makes it woke.

money historically speaking has always replaced love! It is a matter of time for your employees to begin to be a burden, for something the numbers suggest that 60% of the jobs we see today performed by humans will be replaced by some new technology closely related to AI

That's very true. If the numbers look good, it doesn't matter how good the employees are, they are gonna go.

And it is something that unfortunately will happen very systematically but it will happen, you have to be prepared and be able to face this, I am sure that many here have families or responsibilities and it is something that will affect the economy of those who do not anticipate these changes!

Yes. We are fortunate because we found crypto early enough and that's gonna be our way out. But a lot of people who, by ignorance or fear, are out of it can end up in a very bad situation.

Let's see how the government responds. They need some way to either replace the jobs or pay people who can't find work.

governments are in the penultimate position of the pyramid of power, what the elite dictate in order to maximize profits, governments simply as good servant pawns, will make the necessary adjustments regardless of the well-being of the masses, you can find a more perspective extensive in a work called The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion

Totally , our richest man released JioMart and tons of other companies are coming forward with the same concept .
It is good because I don't have to go 5 miles to get what I need which was the case before .

Sounds like a good plan. If they optimize the routes, then it wouldn't be as costly to transport the goods.

The idea of making our lives easier is something that I think all of us are for.
After all, I would say very few people enjoy going grocery shopping. In fact, that is something that I need to do today.
It isn't fun stuff.

I really hate it. I hate it to the point that I have studied the store occupation on different times and days to pick the ones when it's the emptiest and I also made a map of where things are so I can trace the fastest route to grab the stuff I need and get the f- out.
Not that I wrote it I realize I might be a psycho or something LOL

LOL yes that is also worthy of a discussion with your therapist...or parole officer.

More robots! Robots, robots everywhere! First Kroger who is next? Piggy Wiggly?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't even know what a piggly wiggly is lol.

I guess it is out of business.
It was a grocery chain, I think primarily in the south. I recall it being around 30 years ago or so.
I dont know if they ended up going out of business, got bought out, or what.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I had never heard of it either so I looked it up and they have a very interesting story!
Apparently, they were the first store that allowed customers to actually walk around the store and grab the goods themselves, instead of handing a list to a clerk and waiting for the clerk to get the goods.

I did not know that fact either although there is a good chance I end up forgetting.
Would you remind me in 4 or 5 months?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol. Why would you want to remember? It died for a reason so I don't think anybody misses it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It seems they didn't die though! Apparently, they were bought a couple of times and now they are mostly in medium or small cities, but still kicking
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
hahaha I know right! Yesterday we learned that the distance between genitals and butthole can indicate how fertile one is and today we learned about the store that created the self-service model LOL
Yea, I can remind you no problem :P
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That seems like common sense now. People are more likely to buy something they can see and touch. Might as well let people choose than charge them. Otherwise you might not buy something you think you might want.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
LOL are they ever around anymore. I remember them as a kid when I would visit my grandparents. There was a Piggly Wiggly where they lived.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I used to shop there back when I lived in North Carolina some years ago. There was Kroger, Harris Teeter, Piggy Wiggly and others.

I'd love that but I believe it's gonna be a while before it gets to Brazil.
