I know in Japan for instance, there’s a unmanned store where you can buy things with the only thing meeting you near the front entrance & exit is self checkout. It’s a trust based system where you walk in select what you want (without locking any essential or mundane item behind plexiglass), as in they depend on individuals having common sense on not stealing paying via a “honesty box” based on a honor system.


I suppose statistically it would work - the lowest rank in the Honest Tea trial was 80% honest in DC… but then they stole his bike too.

That’s so stereotypical, and attempting to correlate this data with demographics is straight up refused by the AI agents I’ve tried lmao
