Where are these, so I can never see them in person
Walgreens has them installed in 700 stores because a previous ceo signed a deal with a company that provided them.
The CEO of the company providing them? Was also a previous, different CEO of Walgreens. Sure looks like a buddy did another buddies startup a favor, likely for a kickback.
The current Walgreens CEO canceled them, and is being sued for it.
Its walgreens CEOs all the way down.
If only there was some kind of transparent material we could make freezer doors out of so you could see what was in them.
To be entirely fair, the glass doors are terrible for refrigeration efficiency because the glass is far less insulated than the door with the screen is. It might actually save electricity by powering a screen that shows a picture of the product over a insulated door than just having a glass door.
This implementation looks ugly as heck of course but if there’s a big enough energy efficiency gain I suppose it might be worth the trade off
You can make insulated glass doors fairly easily. Just sandwich a gas between layers of glass. Look at any modern window for an example.
Any store installing that crap (it fortunately hasn’t arrived in my country yet) will lose me as a customer. I know it won’t hurt them, but I’m not dealing with shit like that.
