Wait, just so I get this right... The board fired him; Then members of the board wanted him back; Now he's back and replaced the board too? - so did he pull an uno reverse on the board of directors or what? How the fuck does that shit work?

The 'robot' isn't the problem. This design is intentional and human made. Here in the Netherlands self checkout is the norm, even in very small grocery stores. However, it's super easy and not frustrating at all, because the stores TRUST their customers. The self checkout is super simple, you scan a product and put it on your bag, or backpack or whatever you have. No need to weigh the scanned products or anything. Nothing overcomplicated.

Now there are some control measures, but they are designed in a way to not be too intrusive or create unnecessary frustration: First, most places have a gate at the exit that only lets you leave by scamming your receipt (or if you go paperless, you scan your membership card on your phone). Also, some places do random inspection. But that's frustration free too - a worker comes up to you with a hand scanner, scans like four or five random items of yours and leaves. Boom, done.

I'm a German living in Nijmegen since 2020. Since moving here I regularly see groups of school children with their teachers collecting trash all through the city. Sometimes I even see individual adults doing this. They'll typically wear high visibility vests and have proper equipment (grabbers and pokers) for the job. But they are obviously not working directly for the local garbage disposal service. - so what's going on here? I really like the idea of regular people keeping the city clean. I think it's a great value to instill in school children too!

But how exactly does that work? Is this a regular thing in the Netherlands? Do people just go out and collect trash? Do they get the equipment from the local garbage disposal? Is it volunteer work, or payed mini jobs? I'm really curious!

EDIT: I found out that this is the so-called Wijkhelden program of our local garbage disposal service.
