Have you ever seen the security room at a Walmart? If you ever thought you weren't on camera in a Walmart, you were. It's like a casino.

That particular camera looks like it is in a locking case, usually for hight theft items. The bizarre thing here is why the extra security on Sugar in the Raw and what looks like maybe Stevia.

Never really got the appeal of walmart, they have only had some I wanted maybe twice over the last 20 years.

Oh well, yet another reason to never go there.

[–] sanitation@lemmy.today 6 points 4 hours ago

For many people it's nearest grocery

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not sure how many shop there because it appeals to them

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

only by necessity for me. the next cheapest store is on the other side of town with at leat a couple dozen traffic lights and intersections between us.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Oops, my greasy hands just smeared over the lens!

... Whoops, this one too!

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 hours ago

This is for dynamic pricing

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Walk around with mask and reflective lenses.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Sharpies are just a few aisles over

[–] meathorse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Right next to the white-out

[–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

If I ever end up back in a Walmart and see these, I'm definitely setting something in front of them.

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Pinch of thermite should do it

It must take a lot of compute to have AI review all those cameras and calculate surge pricing. I wonder where they will find it?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The cost of AI to do all this will be higher than any profits they could possibly make, but the managers who came up with this shot already committed and in the end they can just put that cost on the consumers anyway

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

One man's cost is another man's profit.

At some point, Walmart execs sitting on a pile of NVIDIA stock won't see this as a loss for them. It will just become an excuse to trim spending - on healthcare, on wages, on wholesale costs, on maintenance of their fleets and facilities - everywhere that isn't AI.

Walmart shoppers will put up with anything

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Many are in food deserts and have no other choice.

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I mean, yeah.

Wal-Mart caters to people who will buy cheaper things no matter what, whether that's because they're desperate or disinterested in how that impacts their world.

It's like saying NASCAR fans like seeing cars go fast; that's basically the whole point.

Cut pieces of paper with a 90 degree fold.

Place them on the shelf with the fold in front of the camera.

Bonus pts if you buy a cheap box of lil (low power to avoid accusations of attempted property damage) magnets to keep em there.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

People are stealing sugar?

I'm not a scientist or anything, but that seems like really bad news

[–] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I'm guessing the cameras track your gaze, and they use that to decide what people are most interested in.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Seems easier to just look at how many were rung up at the till...

[–] DanceMomsSavedMe@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 hours ago

Is for live dynamic pricing. Its why all the tagsaredigital now.

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I stopped going to the major grocery chain here because they got rid of their 50% off stickers for food about to go past the sell by date.

If they did this I wouldnt just stop going there, Id fucking nuke it.
