their system is EASIER to steal from than a regular market

and no one will stop you

they are hoping the honor system works

heres another really easy way to shoplift

get a dummy card

sign up for amazon

fill cart

leave

card declined

whole foods is going to implement this system at some point

poor people will steal easily

prices will go up to accommodate

middle class eats cost

Next time you go there pay special attention for hidden cameras.

there arent any

there are like 70 cameras ont he ceiling you can see

the point is

if you "accidentally" steal

can you be arrested?

They can do facial recognition for repeat offenders and immediately send loss prevention personnel to kick you out.

And sell your facial recognition data to other companies.

Knowing who is a thief is valuable information.

they dont have loss prevention

Well that's stupid.

and if you steal it wont be on your record

liek if you take from someone elses bag

theyd have to watch all the footage to find when

AI can do that.

no it cant

if it could track the bag swap the swap wouldnt work in the first place

the tracker works by detecting where u are and when the weight is lifted

thats why different flavotrs dont work either

I'm talking about the cameras.

if I put strawberry yogurt in the banana section it cant tell which one was lifted

If China can watch all intersections for jaywalkers and text your ticket to your phone seconds after your crime, Amazon can probably cook something up to catch thieves.

imagine this

youre walking in the store

you bump into someone

bags fall

items all scatter

oh geez

who is the shoplifter

if you dont return the item it DOES charge you

so if you walk in, grab PB, put it on a shelf, walk out, you get charged for PB

i ddi that test too and was mad about it

they charge you for not putting things back wherre u got them

kek

@Timcast I have an idea for a story for you look at the swedish election. Can't send some readworthy links atm as i need to be @ work in 30 min but can send some when I get home in about 6 hours.

you and bro go in and fill up bags

you and bro accidentally bump into each other

oh no!

items all mixed up!

I thought there'd be more finesse to it

leave

complain you didnt buy these things

both get free

To the jaywalking gulag!

I didn't see shopping going this way. I thought it was all going to be RFID chips. I think they just made things to complicated.

Why even risk the bag swap if you can get a prepaid Visa ?

Seems like a burner card would be way safer

Shit is there any Amazon stores near me 🤔

Only reason I even shop online is to avoid the social interaction

>put RFID chips on everything
>shopper uses material that blocks RFID
>freeshit4days

any automated system is going to be turbo exploited

>not using RFID blocking wallets anyways

how many groceries can you fit in a wallet?

but yes, you should be using some sort of RFID blocking material already so you dont get scanned and scammed

block the scanner with your wallet

More discreet

Get an RFID r/w and change prices

like people went to the self checkout shit and told the machine they were just buying pounds of onions and shit

Does that shit still work

theres no way around theft from automated systems

I cant imagine why it wouldnt, on some level

Wouldn't LP be watching self checkouts?

I can see the reason why Amazon would want to try to innovate and would be willing to invest money developing new methods of shopping. That's kind of how they got to be a trillion dollar company.

sure, this is just a misstep

>move to Seattle
>eat free
>be able to afford rent because of it

ez

wew

And I don't see any reason why with sufficiently advanced technology this couldn't be made to work at least as well as a traditional human staffed store. The technology might not exist now, but this is the process of developing it.

>leave anyway because it's a shithole

And all retail stores expect a certain percentage of shrinkage anyway.

I know some chronic shoplifters

But they're dumb and steal in stupid ways

Only shoplifters I ever knew were the most obvious scumbags ever.

>be good enough to somehow hit the same place all the time
>never steal anything worth stealing
reee

burner card still neds your ID

which means it will work once or twice before you get denied access

🤔

bumping into someone only works a couple times too

burner card is best for a big buy tho

how do you know any of this

but depending on the cost you will get arrested for it

He did it

It's theft under $1000 in Seattle right?

duno

i didnt steal anything legally tho, I did pay for everything
