Just over half of Amazon Fresh stores are equipped with Just Walk Out. The technology allows customers to skip checkout altogether by scanning a QR code when they enter the store. Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.
Got that?
As wealthy White libs cruised Amazon Fresh, feeling virtuous for 'progressive' use of technology, reality was:
-
they were watched & tracked
-
by brown-skinned poor people in India
-
at a loss; in other words, even brown low-wage slaves were too expensive for Bezos
-
so Bezos will sack them now

Amazon UK uses Indian call centers for their customer service.
Ireland used to be Europe's call center, but now it's India, Pakistan, and South Africa. Nigeria used to be one, but there was too much criminal activity because of the misuse of customer data.
Ireland still makes up about 5% of the call centers. It's what I look for when deciding things like banking, etc.
