How about no freaking way.

When I need good insights into the future of technology, Wal-Mart is always my go-to.

You think the libs are screaming about food deserts now. Try getting rid of the existing stores.
Hold on honey, there are people on the internet that are wrong.

No. But also yes if I never have to step foot in a Walmart again.

Can't be Walmart. 10 people weren't in line at a check out register.

"We see you already have a gallon of milk at home. Should we put this one back?"

So Wal-Mart is telling you they can see what you have in your house.....everything down to basics

Can you ask that hologram lady to show her titties? If not, I don't understand the point.

Imagine being so low-IQ, you need a virtual sales them/they to instruct you on what to buy for sustenance - and end up spending exorbitantly on whatever garbage advertisers pay that shill to advise you on.

wouldn't this take a hell of a lot more time than simply clicking on what you want on the list on the wal-mart website?

But how is one supposed to shoplift in the metaverse? I'm not going to search for it, but pretty sure the metaverse will be labeled racist.

The only positive is not having to shop with this:

Same way one commits sexual violence. E-groping

In general, I find online ordering from local restaurants fraught with annoyances and the actual execution of the order/delivery to be incredibly inefficent and error-prone. The quarantine has made me appreciate the businesses that can actually meet my needs in person and do so politely, promptly, and without drama.

Maybe a mega-corporation like Walmart can do it. That demo posted doesn't excite me though. I want to make my purchases fast. I don't want to listen to some wannabe concierge AI take up my time telling me what it thinks I want to buy.

So Walmart believes that oil changes will still be a thing in the future? Good news for team ICE.

The problem is that it will show you stuff on the shelves that don't actually exist (or vice versa) because Wal-Mart's inventory is never correct.

And what value does that add to the current pick list? I suppose you can browse like you would if actually at the store?

I miss shopping at Wal Mart in Mexico where shoppers are middle class, generally well-dressed people with a sense of dignity and self-respect.

These clowns are literally working themselves towards the "battery" shown in the matrix.

All this tells me is that I would play a video game where I can smash things in a grocery store including that virtual employee.

Not to mention, all these types of curbside and other delivery apps/systems foment laziness. And laziness begets laziness. America needs less lazy ****sticks, not more.
