That is all fine and good and all. As long as you have police and a DA that is actually willing to put these criminals in jail or to at least punish them in some meaningful way rather than just letting them out in 4 hours. Otherwise, you are just spending a ton of $$$ on technology that tells you how much you are getting fucked without any recourse.

>Home Depot is using a futuristic-sounding new weapon to stop shoplifting at its self-checkouts - using AI to constantly watch customers.
Big name retailers like Walmart and Dollar General are removing self-checkout lanes amid rising thefts and customer complaints. But Home Depot has a different solution - so-called 'computer vision'. In a nutshell, it is an array of cameras monitored by artificial intelligence-powered computers. Staff are then alerted by the computer if there is a risk of theft.

Everytime I get swarmed by 3 associates asking if I need help. I ask them what's the point of self check out if they are just going to stand there and watch me. Blank stare... "ok then leave me alone and let me do your job."

Hah yeah.. "Leave me alone and let me do YOUR job". That is a good line.

I wish I didn't have to use the fucking self checkout at Home Despot. 5 out of the 6 regular registers are closed, there is one open and it has a long line up, so I go over to the self checkout to scan my couple of items and get back to doing the work I need to do.
