Isn’t it bigoted and racial/ethnic profiling, to observe that there are Asian customers, and have Chinese speaking employees? Isn’t it bigoted to somehow assume that these Asian customers don’t speak English? Don’t liberals lecture us about this stuff all the time???
To: BenLurkin
Buying stuff isn’t much fun anymore. It just feels black.

Couldn’t normal employee and marketing personnel make these same observations without the cost and nonsense of this BS?
I mean, telling who’s a child and who’s Asian isn’t exactly rocket science

In other words, they’re using technology to accomplish things managers used to do back in the days when managers actually managed.

No minimum wage, no overtime, no workers comp, no payroll tax, no strikes, no discrimination charges, no sexual harassment charges, no "shrinkage", no scheduling issues, no sick time, no ObamaCare...

An observant human could determine this information. However, I don’t like it and would be less likely to shop at stores with this technology.
To: BenLurkin
How is this any better than hiding a camera anywhere else?

I agree! When I first read the title I thought “this is news?” these have been around for years! I remember reading about these in the 90’s. Since then I know cameras have improved but now we have the flash mobs. So now they should shoot out laser blasts! Or something.

The robots will be more accurate because they will do it constantly while employees will do it when they remember, and faster.

Then you better be ready to never shop again. Pretty soon they’ll all have it. You can’t put the genie back in the bottle, demographic data is the most important data for retails, who is buying what where and how often makes all business decisions more likely to succeed.
