it is already starting- computerized inventory is taking descisions out of "middle manager's" hands- the comp keeps track of all the stuff sold, and reorders, keeps track of sales- I just watched a walmart fabric department shut down for 30 minutes because the beepy scanny thingy went out and no one could do anything manualy- even though they were trained to- three employees could not figure out a course of action, untill a fourth (older) one (to clarify, older= late fifties, and worknig on 20 yrs there) came along and did the stuff by hand- comp inventory makes sense and keeps stuff cheap, so it will spread and improve- the good news is that the bigger the system the more bugs / loopholes for us to exploit- hard work no longer = prosperity around here, its all about the loopholes and sneakyness.....
