Short YouTube commentary (by Dylan Vanas) about public backlash to Whole Foods' palm-scanning payment technology. The speaker notes people are frightened by in-store biometric payment, argues the tech itself isn't new, compares it to more advanced automation (e.g., McDonald's automated restaurants), observes that companies delay full automation due to expected pushback, and advises listeners to learn and adapt as technology will continue advancing.

Whole Foods has been facing backlash for creating a scan your palm to pay during the checkout process. People seem to get a little bit of frustration or scared just by seeing this kind of stuff in stores. The reality is that this technology isn't new, and there's technologies that actually are far more advanced. In fact, McDonald's has had the ability to automate their entire restaurant for years. But they didn't release the first automated McDonald's into just recently because they knew that there'd be too much pushback from society. Technology is advancing. It's going to create different kind of fear. People are going to be scared. They don't know how to understand it. But here's the fact. This technology is going to advance either way. If you're going to be around as part of society, you might as well learn to use it and appreciate it.
