I've been to the Amazon fresh a few times and it's alright.

~~Great reporting, thnx~~

Yo, it might not be the right place but that's not the best way to treat others either.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I thought I was being mild by skirting the point and use irony. It is a somewhat vapid comment that adds nothing to the discussion. Plus it's rather self centered and unaware of others. The combination of those factors struck me as rather short sighted, to use a meek term.

I could've said nothing, perhaps, and just downvoted. Not sure if that would've improved things, though.

Personally I don't think you improved things either way. At best it came off as a humorous jab at the person, but honestly it leaned more towards super snarky from my perspective. The only thing you've done is potentially discourage the person from commenting period next time. That likely wasn't your intent but, that's how it read for me.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago

Ok thnx for the feedback, it's appreciated

[–] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I would agree that I do not have a degree in journalism.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sorry if it came across too snarky/mean

[–] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's fine, I'm totally unfazed by your comment. 👍

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 7 months ago

Ty! Have a splendid day/night w/e!

It's alright in the way drinking water that contains arsenic or lead. You won't notice it.

I'm disgusted from stores with automated surveillance.
For clarification, this does not mean digital cameras, but systems where your behavior is analyzed, identified and profiled.

So literally everywhere now

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yep pretty much everyone is using your phone to track your activity around the store.

[–] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 1 points 7 months ago

The phone is a different thing (still not good), because you can choose to not bring it with you. But when it's based on the cameras, you cannot say no.

It's interesting that they gather so much information that it takes over an hour for them to report back what you purchased.
