I noticed a new thing at Woolies self checkout. Previously when you put fruit and veg on it youβd have to select the fruit and veg button and get the frequently bought items menu, and go from there. Now, itβs using a recognition system where it offers a selection based on what it thinks you have put in the scale. For example I bought cucumbers, and it offered me a choice of cucumber or zucchini to select. For a leek, it gave me leek, zucchini or banana.
@SituationCake Billion-dollar corporation extracting free labour from you to put a union worker out of a job. Self-checkout is scabbing. I like to smile and wait for the one checkout person on shift. @Seagoon_
