>Will people still be working in stores with Just Walk Out technology? >Yes. Retailers will still employ store associates to greet and answer shoppers' questions, stock the shelves, check IDs for the purchasing of certain goods, and more - their roles have simply shifted to focus on more valuable activities. I think this raises questions about ethics in technology. Not to mention the creepy cameras watching your every move, retail is a large source of employment for non-academics and we're slowly phasing out the need for people to operate stores. Here we've seen the self-serve checkouts which has one staff-member supervise 8~12 self-serve checkouts. The amount of manned checkouts has reduced so drastically that there's only one or two or in some cases no manned checkouts open.
