More Robots are Coming
I have not been...... but the odds are increasing.
Take a read.......
It’s a refrain heard repeatedly at this week’s National Retail Federation trade show and convention: Let the robots do what they do best, and free up human employees to do what they do best.
And the retail industry has decided that what robots do best (and what humans are bad at) is spotting when bottles of shampoo are sold out, or cans of soup are in the wrong place, and keeping track of when store shelves need to be replaced.
A clear sign that shelf-scanning robots and other automated inventory tracking systems have reached the tipping point came Monday with the news that Walmart is expanding its use of shelf-scanning robots to another 650 of its stores, bringing the number of robot-assisted Walmart stores to 1,000.
All I can say is this...... if a robot attacks my shopping cart...... or even gently bumps into it...... I'm going all-out crazy and jumping on top of the freakin' thing.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
Matt
