Planned Technology Updates, Part 3

Card Reader

  • Ability to control device by pushing really hard near the desired button, or repeatedly stabbing with pen
  • Voice recognition to identify frustration and time out transactions sooner
  • Ability to not request cash back when requesting cash back


Bathrooms

  • Upgrading to high durability paper product dispensers, able to withstand 97% of urgency.


Staging Areas

  • New Premium Priority staging areas to be added to the end of each aisle to fast track stocking of preferred sections. 


Flat Carts

  • Improved ramming power
  • Folding stabilizers for safer sitting/lounging


WiFi

  • Boosters installed to amplify free WiFi access from neighboring businesses. 


Paper Bags

  • As a cost cutting measure, glue to be used only on seams. 


Coffee Grinders

  • Removal of part that keeps some of the ground coffee from coming out until you try to clean it.


Sticker Removal Tool

  • Addition of argon laser sight for precision sticker removal jobs.


COVID Notification System

  • Underground gossip network working reasonably well to identify those involved. No updates at this time.


Receipt Printer

  • Case to be changed to clear plastic making it possible to see when the paper is getting low.
  • “Paper” light will now fluctuate colors to indicate cashier’s mood. Mood will be determined by advanced algorithm analyzing mistyped SKU frequency, pressure sensor data, specifications of multiple items with a single scan versus multiple redundant scans, unconsummated use of the Flip Chart, and a bell sensor. Unless customized by management team, light will default to lavender. Sensors to be recalibrated quarterly.
