I watched one episode of Huberman Lab and the next day my entire feed was Lex and Joe. Then I watched like ten more episodes of Huberman Lab and it went back to normal
Edit: I did like the Lex episode where he sparred with Mark Zuckerberg though that was cool
I felt the need to inform you that I’ve been making these since you posted this, and I made a bunch at Christmas for the fam (called them Grinches) and they were a huge hit. Thanks a ton fellow Trekkie!
All the stories in this thread are ridiculous, not untrue, but very weird.
Product loss is a problem, and can threaten a store’s ability to operate, especially in disadvantaged communities where there aren’t many options for shopping. That said, what the fuck is everyone thinking? Why do people care about like one guy not scanning or accidentally taking one item, you’re wasting more resources dealing with it then if you just ignored it.
The actual solution? Exit gates that open when you scan your receipt, maybe combined with some system that weighs the whole order to make sure it makes sense. Completely automated, no shouting, easy to implement because the technology already exists on transit systems and many other things.
I don’t get why this is a problem, though I’ve never seen anything like this at any nearby grocery store.
some stores are going to that model listed first. Security gates that close when the beeper goes off and doors that are only one direction so you can’t leave/enter from the wrong side.
What you’re talking about would likely cost around 100K per location. Multiplied by 5000 locations, that’ll run them a cool half a billion dollars. Minimum.
The real issue is Walmart (and others like them) eliminated local businesses, which replaced decent paying jobs with minimum wage jobs. Then lobbied the government to keep minimum wages down. This had the effect of depressing local economies, creating scenarios where people have to shoplift basic necessities.
So instead of having massive corporations spending insane amounts of money (or calling the police) which serves to make grocery shopping a dystopian nightmare for everyone, maybe we should consider the root cause of the problem? It seems insane the amount of resources being devoted towards maintaining economic problems.
There’s this old man who goes to my Walmart. On 3 separate trips, I’ve seen him standing snug against the candy aisle with both his arms in the shelves opening bags. I don’t think he realizes how obvious he looks lol.
