Just watched a chain restaurant employees do their hourly picture taking of the store to send off to corporate through a locked down tablet. I asked them about it. Turns out corporations are now using tablets and Ai to manage stores. Holy shit

This doesn’t make any sense… why would they have an employee walking around with a tablet instead of just slightly beefing up the already in place security surveillance system?

As a consumer I could have better visibility with a few hundred bucks worth of Ring cameras.

Knowing the way corporations are I would guess some vendor convinced them this was a better solution. Probably some executive got a kickback too which is why it will stay that way.

Yeah this sounds like a dumb corpo waste of time more so than AI management or something like that.
