Shopping can be annoying with long lines and hard-to-find items. To fix this, stores Iike Walmart introduced self-checkout lanes and “Scan and Go” tech. But some people didn’t like it – they missed the personal touch and found it too much work. Randy Parraz from Making Change at Walmart said customers shouldn’t do cashier work just because Walmart doesn’t want to pay. Walmart heard this and decided not to add more automation.
Instead, they’ll hire more cashiers to make customers happy.
Walmart is now more committed to making customers happy and having meaningfuI talks. This teaches businesses a lesson: being efficient is good, but it’s also important to keep things positive, especially in a world that’s getting more automated.
The human connection is still really important.
These 8 Shocking Effects Will Make You Think Twice About Letting Your Dog Sleep in Bed
Should you let your dog sleep in your bed or not? That’s a question many dog owners ask. For me, it’s cozy having my dog by my side—it helps me relax. I just have to wash my sheets more often!
Dog owners have different opinions on this. Some think it’s not clean, while others believe it’s calming and helps them sleep better.
But now, research shows there are benefits to letting your dog sleep with you.
A study from the Center for Sleep Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona looked at 150 people, and the results were interesting.
Among them, 56 percent said they shared their bed or bedroom with a dog or cat. And of those, 41 percent said their pets helped them sleep better at night, according to the U.K. newspaper, the *Daily Mail*.
The research showed that most people felt more relaxed and secure sleeping with their pets nearby.
Still unsure? Here are eight reasons why research says sleeping with your pet is good for you.
1. **Comforting**
Having your dog close for cuddles can make you feel happier before bed.
2. **Helps you fall asleep**
Many people struggle to fall asleep, and a study shows that having a dog nearby reduces stress, making it easier to drift off.
3. **Reduces stress**
Research shows that dogs help lower stress. Therapy dogs are a great example of how animals support people after tough times in their lives.
4. **Provides warmth**
Dogs like being close to us, and during winter, they offer extra warmth in bed.
5. **Lowers the risk of depression**
Dogs give unconditional love. For people dealing with depression, having a dog nearby can lift their mood.
6. **Safe space**
Even if your dog isn’t the best guard dog, having them close makes you feel safer. They help scare off anyone thinking about breaking in, and their sharp hearing can detect intruders, making dog owners feel more secure.
7. **Good for your dog**
It’s not just you who benefits—your dog enjoys being close to you at night too. Your dog loves you more than anyone else, and being by your side brings them comfort and happiness.
8. **Dogs are good for your brain**
Feeling calm, safe, and happy when your dog sleeps beside you happens because your brain releases more oxytocin when you pet your dog. Oxytocin is a hormone that makes you feel relaxed, confident, and emotionally stable. This not only improves your mood but also benefits your brain, according to studies.
