Robot Walmart

Walmart has replaced all staff with robots. Eyewitnesses in Arkansas reported self-checkouts greeting customers with sparks. Professor Henry Wallace of Harvard explains: "Robots run stores efficiently, but kill small talk." Anonymous staffers leaked glitching carts. A Gallup poll shows 49% supportive, 51% wary. Trace evidence includes glowing receipts and binary barcodes. Cause and effect? The more stores automate, the less human they feel. Shopping has short-circuited.
