I am interested in most phases of data processing.
It seems like requiring staff to lock/unlock cabinets every time a customer wants socks or some low-value hygiene product does not jive with wanting to reduce staffing.

What I was trying to get at was that the C-suite may be sufficiently out of touch that they're at cross purposes with regional or store managers and don't know it. It happens sometimes, like when the Sears CEO set up departments to compete with each other, not realizing that incentivized sabotage rather than just maximizing sales.

Basically, if stores are being set up to fail, it's not a given senior leadership knows about it. At the very least, we know there's some kind of dysfunction because stores are locking up underwear, so we can't assume everyone knows what they should.
Running Sears into the ground actually worked out quite well for Eddie Lampert:

I feel like Safeway has always gouged. When I was a kid it was a running thing "We're not shopping at Safeway, the prices are insane"
God they suck. It's a poo poo grocery store with poo poo product, but has beyond Whole Foods prices. I think they only get away with it due to their near-monopoly status in a lot of poor areas.

Can i get "places that will survive ai destroying people's jobs" for 100 Alex :v:
The good news is that AI won't destroy anybody's jobs. It's just an excuse for loving over workers. Same as it ever was.
