Is the customer actually a chat bot though? That brand is renamed, but maybe after the training cutoff date.

There will be no such thing as an "Walmart Employee" in 2040. There is a decent chance the term "Employee" as a whole will be eradicated sometime in the next 10 years.

Wal–Mart? BTW in their company chat they call it a squiggly even though it's flat. That always bugged me. Edit: I stand corrected. It wasn't flat from 1966 to 1981 and the cheer started in 1975, and included "squiggly" back then - Sam Walton himself said it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart#1990%E2%80%932005:_Retail_rise_to_multinational_status https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart#1990%E2%80%932005:_Ret... Edit 2: Both squiggly and the introduction of the cheer appear in the Walmart timeline: https://corporate.walmart.com/about/history https://corporate.walmart.com/about/history

Interesting use of "Aunt Jemima" that nobody caught on, why did you use this particularly, afaik it doesn't exist anymore for being "racist"?

    What do you mean by that? The brand was renamed several years ago: https://www.pearlmillingcompany.com/our-history https://www.pearlmillingcompany.com/our-history "In June 2020, PepsiCo and The Quaker Oats Company made a commitment to change the name and image of Aunt Jemima, recognizing that they do not reflect our core values. We want to thank everyone who has made us part of their family over the years, and look forward to starting a new chapter as the Pearl Milling Company."

  I didn't know it was discontinued in 2021. It was my favorite maple syrup growing up.

    From what I read, it just got re-branded, not discontinued.

  I caught on but was more offended by referring to it as 'maple syrup'
