fosborb posted:local supermarket just added "AI" to the checkout. it uses a top down video to flag any movement or change in weight in the bag area that isn't preceded by a scan I still don't know when it's acceptable to remove a filled bag, it starts complaining about it no matter what I do. and I also start just running out of room to put things. I also missed a tin of herrings the other day and ended up shoplifting it by mistake. Typical of American society to place the onus on you doing everything exactly right and hovering around waiting to punish you if you make a mistake on the system you've received no training on, that changes all the time, and is different in every store.

I was working for a consulting company that was in turn supporting a company doing this. It was blatantly clear that we were building garbage that would never sell, especially since the company we were working for torpedoed their reputation and were also being investigated by the FBI at the time. But hey, as long as those cheques were coming, we wrote code for them.

The Kroger ones will randomly announce "please scan all items" while you're in the middle of scanning, which always makes me think I missed something. Hate 'em!

I worked at a firm where one manager had to make a big public apology to the company on two non-consecutive occasions. First for accidentally sharing a pornographic meme in the company chat. Second for costing the company millions because he made promises on email to the client on stuff we could not deliver within the budget. We were forced to develop stuff for free over long months just to not have the client sue us. He's the CEO now.

I'm currently dealing with a national head of a sales division for a chemical line who can't read an SDS and has no concept of what is or is not a hazardous chemical. This man is managing products that if not properly handled will create chlorine gas clouds, or lead to people drinking contaminated water and he's subliterate at best.

If he sells them the wrong chemicals that means they will have to come back and buy the correct chemicals along with other stuff to fix the first mess. It's called upselling hun, look it up
