Why this matters

For the 806

A big grocery company putting AI into its day-to-day work is the kind of thing that eventually shows up at the store and in the back office, from scheduling to what you see online. But this post does not say what changed in any store, what it cost, or whether any of it worked better than before. Until there is something you can check at the shelf, treat it as a company telling you about itself.
