“Be prepared to be surprised!” Clooney’s wife appeared in public and raised questions among fans

Few people know that Amal Clooney is known not only as George Clooney’s wife, but also an outstanding human rights lawyer. She studied law at NYU and Oxford University, highlighting her impressive career and commitment to justice.

Amal is the founder of the Clooney Foundation For Justice, which works hard to protect human rights, particularly through investigating mass atrocities and supporting victims on their path to justice.

George Clooney often describes Amal as perfect and praises her as an amazing person and wonderful woman. Despite their age difference, they have created an exemplary family together and enjoy their life together.

Their paths first crossed when Amal was in his mid-30s and George was already in his 50s. The couple recently accompanied Michelle Obama and Melinda Gates on a charity trip to Malawi, with their rare public appearance drawing widespread admiration.

Despite her outstanding achievements as a lawyer and her significant charity work, Amal’s natural beauty also became the focus of discussion.

Some expressed suggestions that she might consider cosmetic treatments to improve her appearance.

Walmart alters course: Drops self-checkout expansion amidst customer concerns

The advance of technology helps facilitate our lives a great deal, but do we pay a high price when it comes to relying on the machines way more than we should?

In order to speed up the process of running errands and shopping for groceries, Walmart introduced self-checkouts. What they didn’t expect, however, is to face backlash because of this decision that many of the customers consider controversial.

The self-service machines aren’t something new. In fact, they were first introduced in the 1980s to lower labor expenses.

But this service faced plenty of obstacles and customers complain to the added responsibilities.

For example, certain items may have multiple barcodes, whereas the produce, including the meat, fruit, and vegetable, typically needs to be weighed and manually entered into the system using a code, which might be time consuming for the ordinary shoppers. Other times shoppers won’t hear the “beep” confirming an item has been scanned properly.

Another issue is the increase of theft. Walmart announced that thefts at its stores has reached an all-time high.

The machines not only fall short at their purpose of making shopping easier at times, but they also make it harder for the employees they were meant to help.

Christopher Andrews, a sociologist and author of The Overworked Consumer: Self-Checkouts, Supermarkets, and the Do-It-Yourself Economy, says the system “doesn’t work well for anyone.”

He continued: “Everyone feels like they have to have it. Companies are thinking: ‘If we can just get more people on this, maybe we can start reducing some overheads.’”

What’s most, most of the customers have reported that they miss the human interaction while shopping.

Randy Parraz from Making Change at Walmart perfectly summed up customer sentiments by saying, “You can’t convince customers to do the job of a cashier just because you don’t want to pay for the work.”

Walmart decided to listen to what their customers had to say and instead of further expanding automation, the retail giant will hire additional cashiers to provide their customers with a pleasant shopping experience and service.

What Walmart and the rest of the retailers, among which Costco and Wegmans, learned is that efficiency is important but maintaining a balance with positive experiences remains crucial.
