I thought Amazon was liberating me from the chains of having to actually drive and visit physical retail stores. And they want me to go to their fucking store now?

I never cared for whole foods anyway. The quote unquote organic label is unregulated. If organic is the primary focus of the label I avoid it.

I've been to a whole foods with the walkout tech. We can debate for days about what kind of data they're collecting, but it really was a much better grocery experience

As shitty as Amazon is, these stores are cool as fuck and are a very interesting experience.

Yes , but they keep data on you using your face, what you buy , what time you come in and out. For years. Then they either use it or sell the info. To solicit

They’re doing all that (with the exception of facial data) when you go on their website or use their app anyway

I’d love to be able to walk into a store grab what I need and fuck right off. When I do this right now they always involve the cops
