- throwaway173738 1y agoThey have a very “citizen pick up that can” feel to them.
- mothballed 1y agoI don't understand if flock deployment in Lowe/Home Depot is because margins are so low it is the only way to survive, or margins so high that they can afford such a program just to eek out a tiny bit more sales from the collected consumer info. Either way it doesn't make sense to me why hardware stores are the biggest private use case.
- alex43578 1y agoNeither. It’s because Home Depot/Lowes loses billions of dollars a year due to theft, both organized and petty. Just like they have security cameras in the store, they have security cameras in the parking lot.
- captainkrtek 1y agoI always assumed they were just a deterrent given the flashing blue lights and audio “this area is being monitored”, and less of an actual threat.
