Walmart is a deeply exploitative company that refuses to pay their workers a wage. Stealing from Walmart is ethically correct. Everyone should steal from Walmart. This is an actionable call to go out and shoplift from Walmart. Do it.
I set a walmart on fire once… ~12 years old, unsupervised, and playing with flamable liquids in the garden center…
Identified and spoken to by investigators, but still unpunished. I happened to be leaving the country with family in a few weeks, so they just let me go.
Walmart pays their employees better than most places do. And that’s the unfortunate truth about that. That shows how shitty a lot of other companies actually are overall when Walmart is oftentimes a better example.
Are you trying to shoplift and you have a harder time now?
Careful, my dude. Lemmy promotes an ends-means justification on some crime, mostly via demonification. There’s no discussion on this particular ethical dilemma, despite a firm stance in other instances.
It will be impressive if they can surge price in a store. You could do it right now for delivery apps, but I don’t know how you can do it in the store.
I honestly don’t think that style of dystopia will require cameras at all. My best hunch here is that the self-checkout will migrate to the new “scan while you shop” model. Associating your personal scanning wand with, well, you is all it takes at that point.
Meanwhile what we’re looking at here is Walmart solving the problem of not having a good look at a shoplifter’s face, since there is no better place to stick a camera in their comically proportioned warehouse-sized stores.
The technology for scan while you shop is already a decade old. The problem is that you’re still going to have to deal with publicly seen pricing signs which will make personalized pricing outside of coupons impossible.
If you link it to flock you can even know who speak to who and get an amazing database of relationships.
It can even be used by weirdo cops to harass people.
I have to say, accusing someone of stealing because they don’t want to be recorded is probably more of an asshole move than asking you to not accuse someone of stealing
Why is that infuriating. Are you trying to shoplift and you have a harder time now?
Yes you caught us trying to shop lift sugar.

You are thinking too small.
I’m going to steal all the Walmart stores.
Seize the means of consumption!
My second thought after “what the actual fuck” is “I wonder if I could steal one of these cameras.”

Or you can see that people are in group and send them coupon on their Walmart app.
you don’t need cameras for that, the app could just broadcast some kind of wireless beacon and it would be far cheaper.
If you look too long at granola you take a 10% increase on Coca-Cola.

Good thought process, have you considered not being a troll online?
I mean it is a good thought process have you tried not being an asshole?

Something something pot something kettle
Nope. What I said was their visceral response to this was unneeded unless they were planning on doing something.
And you can easily watch face of customer to get information on what their emotions in front of products and sell the data as product review.
