Yes, but I would hate to be the guy forced to tag all the oranges. or steaks. or heads of lettuce.
Obviously, I'm being a little facetious. I love the idea of walking in and out on credit (although the privacy implications bother me), but I still havent figured out a way that they can do fresh produce without completely revamping how it is sold. I suppose you could go to an honor system where people bag and then print label/rfit sticker.
- dmix 18y agoThe chips could be inserted automatically by machine when the product is being assembled at the manufacturers expense. I could see Home Depot or a similar big box company, who have quite a bit of influence over manufacturers, making that a requirement. The cost might be a trade-off if customer satisfaction is boosted. Although that might be impractical for grocery stores or smaller items (small fruit, nails, etc).
- yters 18y agoMaybe the cost savings of tagging the more expensive items can make paying for the cheaper items part of an honor system. I.e. pay $X monthly to have unlimited access to item Y. Or, untagged items are locked. They are unlocked with a credit card, and the weight difference is billed to the card. Those are just a couple off the top of my head. I suspect there are many creative ways to deal with untagged items.
- Brushfire 18y agoHow exactly do you imagine oranges are assembled again? No one is inserting shit into my oranges, hopefully. Honor system only I think for produce. Or buying bags of the shit, which most people arent used to.
