They can punish based on noncompliance
Comment on Corporate management is now too lazy to even physically go to locations now.

This doesn’t make any sense… why would they have an employee walking around with a tablet instead of just slightly beefing up the already in place security surveillance system?

Managing a lot of built in systems is complicated on their end. Instead, they just force their underpaid employees on location to do the hard work.

My guess is roi and the cost of Ai scanning a photo for out of place/damaged/dirty items. There not even going through the effort of viewing the photos or security cameras. The Ai flags the fry cooker as dirty, staff cleans again, take another picture an hour later, Ai flags fry cooker as dirty, human manager notified.

Knowing the way corporations are I would guess some vendor convinced them this was a better solution. Probably some executive got a kickback too which is why it will stay that way.

Yeah this sounds like a dumb corpo waste of time more so than AI management or something like that.

Yeah plus putting cameras to see every part of the store now requires way more cost/maintenance than just telling the underpaid manager “takes these 10 photos every month or we’ll fire you”

It’s every hour, not every month. It’s a considerable expense to have a human do that 12-16 times a day.
