    That’s not true at all. I personally know a person who worked on that technology.

    Human beings got involved only when necessary. Do you really think Amazon wants to pay humans to be cashiers?

      No but if they spend a bunch of money and time designing it, spend a bunch of time and money retrofitting stores, and then a bunch of time and money marketing it and the technology doesn’t actually work when it’s ‘showtime,’ I can easily see a company with deep pockets like Amazon faking it all by hiring dirt cheap labor to make it seem like it works rather than the alternative.
