    Amazon did not confirm how many staff would be affected by the closures but it said it planned to offer workers new roles in other parts of the business.

    “You can’t work at the store anymore but how about breaking your back in one of our huge warehouses?”

    Sad for the people losing their jobs.

    I always thought the concept was cool, but wasn’t there a news piece a couple years back that the “sensitive cameras” were actually just outsourced humans watching the camera feeds and noting what they took?
