Workers told Insider the tech has led to confrontations with customers who trigger the alert.

"We're continuously working on our security processes, and we encourage customers with concerns to let us know," Walmart spokesperson Joe Pennington told Insider. Shopper Daniel Jones told Insider he was "appalled" when his kiosk lit up and began playing security video footage of an alleged missed scan. Waiting for an employee to come over, question him, and reactivate his system made Jones feel like he was being "punished" for using the available hand scanner to ring up his order.

CNN —A Labrador and German shepherd mix named Zoey has claimed the record for the longest tongue on a living dog. At 12.7 centimeters (5 inches), Zoey’s tongue is longer than a soda can, according to Guinness World Records. Her owners, Sadie and Drew Williams from Metairie, Louisiana, US, said people often comment on how long Zoey’s tongue is. “She will pretty much go fetch anything you throw and swim in any body of water that’s available,” said Drew Williams. “Every now and then while we’re out taking her on a walk, people will come up to her and want to pet her,” said Drew Williams.

☆ Premarket stocks: Why America's job market hasn't imploded

Mortgage rates are at their highest levels since 2002, consumer spending and business investment is falling and the Federal Reserve is fighting persistent inflation with higher interest rates. “While job openings should continue to fall in the months ahead, the fact that they remain well above normal levels should continue to support strong job growth, possibly all the way into 2023,” said David Kelly, chief global strategist at JPMorgan Funds. The job market is good for workers but it’s not good for inflation. The problem is that this time around, the shape of the job market is different. Oil stocks and health care companies are leading the market, with Chevron (CVX), Merck (MRK) and Amgen (AMGN) topping the Dow leaders list.
