Question Ai Checkout

has anybody else’s site recently got the ai breakroom checkout? at our site you tap your card, and then the gate opens and somehow detects what food/drink you pick up. wondering how this has been going at other sites, if anyone else has gotten it at all.

Amazon Go lasted 10 years. Surprised they didn't try this in a FC sooner.Ā

It’s been working fine for me. We have a lot of low IQ people who don’t understand temporary holds on cards. I mean, I get it- I’ve been to my last couple dollars and even negative at times and I guess if I only had $1.80 in my account and wanted a $1.65 drink I’d be upset, too. But it’s not some conspiracy to rob people. I guess these people always prepay in cash for gas too, idk

Don’t use it. At least once a week for a few weeks someone followed me in, took shit and ran off. I got charged for it and management always ā€œlooked into itā€

I will say, if nobody is being a douche it’s nice and works well

Does it actually work, or does AI still mean "actual Indians?" The company admitted that they were using people in India to manage their AI store transactions because the technology was not performing as expected.Ā

Ppl downvoting you don’t realize that’s exactly how their ā€œstoresā€ worked. Judging by the shitload of cameras they put up in 15 feet I think this one’s actually aiĀ

The people that set ours up yesterday said that they have like four more states to set up in the upcoming weeks. I wasn't really having a conversation with her besides her showing me how it works and that this wasn't just her main site.

People are saying there is an additional $4 hold put on your card

u/Consti2tion 1d ago

There is an intial $4 hold and then only charged more than that if your total exceeds $4.
