SLAMBOARD Always Low Traffic…ALWAYS
My little experiment of changing my header everyday for a week is almost over. The colors today are kinda like what Walmart uses.
I was researching something almost unrelated to Walmart yesterday and I ended up on one of the many websites that exist solely for the purpose of exposing ethical problems with that particular company. I have talked to a lot of different people about the issues surrounding this monolithic retailing success. I met a very libertarian entrepreneur once whose face shone as he talked about documentary footage that he had seen of a giant warehouse that Walmart has that has almost no workers. It operates using robotics. The system reads universal product code information supplied by the truck drivers and retrieves the load faster and more accurately than humans could ever hope to. They probably wish they could run retail without humans, but they have to compromise by just not treating their employees like humans.
