Forced Isolation

I started thinking of that situation and realized what it was - it was actually a form of isolation that is creeping into society in general, keeping people from other people. We are being trained to do without interaction with real people. This is what AI is creating and it's also why far fewer people are needed in this world. Going into any other store, there would be workers - clerks, managers, stockers, etc. You'd interact with them at some point and continue doing and being a human being among other human beings.
