Wow a human employee in walmart in 2040, very optimistic take.

Interesting use of "Aunt Jemima" that nobody caught on, why did you use this particularly, afaik it doesn't exist anymore for being "racist"?
It would appear that you know wrong.
What do you mean by that? The brand was renamed several years ago:
https://www.pearlmillingcompany.com/our-history
"In June 2020, PepsiCo and The Quaker Oats Company made a commitment to change the name and image of Aunt Jemima, recognizing that they do not reflect our core values.
We want to thank everyone who has made us part of their family over the years, and look forward to starting a new chapter as the Pearl Milling Company."
Maybe the fashions will have swung against woke by 2040?
Wal–Mart?
BTW in their company chat they call it a squiggly even though it's flat. That always bugged me.
Edit: I stand corrected. It wasn't flat from 1966 to 1981 and the cheer started in 1975, and included "squiggly" back then - Sam Walton himself said it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart#1990%E2%80%932005:_Ret...
Edit 2: Both squiggly and the introduction of the cheer appear in the Walmart timeline: https://corporate.walmart.com/about/history
There will be no such thing as an "Walmart Employee" in 2040.
There is a decent chance the term "Employee" as a whole will be eradicated sometime in the next 10 years.
Is the customer actually a chat bot though? That brand is renamed, but maybe after the training cutoff date.
