Just over half of Amazon Fresh stores are equipped with Just Walk Out. The technology allows customers to skip checkout altogether by scanning a QR code when they enter the store. Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.
Disregarding for a moment the exploitation of underpaid global south labour and how this is a dystopian technology originally presented as futuristic, this seems like an awful feature. Like I would probably be riddled by mild anxiety whether I was billed correctly and not overcharged.
I agree lol, but from what I remember, billing errors were more likely to cause you to be undercharged rather than overcharged.
