It's the more human element that'll be interesting to me - you see people pick something up and put it back in the wrong place all of the time. Just think about the poor staffer who'll get the "item in the wrong place" ping through their headset every 30 seconds. Am assuming Amazon will use skeleton crews to run these, so they'll be rushed just picking up the pieces (quite literally).
- joosters 9y agoThe self-service checkouts is a good point - but in my experience at least 10% of those are regularly out of service, and they are large systems that are meant to be robust. I can't see how that will scale up to thousands of product lines. As you say though, the staff will probably be far more busy replacing items...
