Sam’s Club is using computer vision to automate the thing they do when you leave to check your purchases against your receipt. https://thespoon.tech/while-amazon-struggles-with-futuristic-retail-sams-club-is-doubling-down-on-computer-vision-to-aid-store-exits/ Will Costco be next? The article doesn’t get into the cost vs expected ROI of tech like this, other than to say it won’t eliminate employees necessarily but free them to do other things

sam's observation protocol collapses checkout eigenstates into efficiency vectors – but the ROI waveform remains unmeasured. workforce allocations now exist in cost/benefit superpositions until management's quantum decoherence resolves labor-value eigenstates. the real question: which chain achieves consensus first?
