If anything, this pandemic will hasten the deployment of robots.
Agree. Robots are the future of retail.
Stein Mart is closed here in FL. Probably forever.
I’ve got to hand to Aldi, though. They always run a tight ship but they are really stepping up now. Stopped in today and they had most everything except TP and hand sanitizer. Managers were on the floor breaking down pallets and shelving product. I saw no such sense of urgency at Walmart yesterday.
Aldi is top shelf. They have very few people, they work them hard and pay them well and they seem to enjoy their work. They hire right somehow.
I have seen one of their stores not as clean as I would like but they mostly are.
I actually like the limited selection that is varied with Aldi Finds. Their meat is also very good. In fact, we can’t recall a single thing we have bought there that was not good.
That's a bad sign.
