WSJ article on Walmart’s difficulties automating warehouse logistics. Machines programmed to sort merchandise are hitting kinks with cardboard boxes and turkeys, pushing the automation effort to ‘peak complexity’.

Could have just paid people for healthcare.
Isn’t there a store that already completely solved this problem like 20 years ago? There’s a convenience store in Barcellona and I believe there were also Ocado Hive warehousing concepts originally intended for groceries and retail.
Walmart are just incompetent morons who think they need to push profit margins to infinite.
My guess is that a convenience store probably has about 50x fewer types of items than a Wal*mart.
Welp, just gonna contribute to the falling rate of profit.
As someone working at the store level (getting out soon hopefully but I need the health insurance atm), it’s also been miserable for the stocking crews.
