A Colorado man says he was fired from King Soopers grocery store after filming a shoplifting incident. As it happens, King Soopers' parent company, Kroger, has a policy against engaging or interfering with shoplifters. Burrola told the Denver CBS affiliate he was suspended when he arrived for his next shift and fired the following week. A spokesperson for King Soopers did not respond to Insider's request for comment on this story. "I hope this changes the policy," Burrola told CBS regarding Kroger's stance, "and gives power back to retail workers like myself."

On September 23, 2022, 12-year-old Esmeralda walked out of the girls' bathroom at her middle school in Tapachula, Mexico, and fainted. Mexican President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador began including regular updates on the government's investigation into the fainting episodes in his daily press conferences. Dr. Carlos Alberto Pantoja Meléndez, one of Mexico's few field epidemiologists, had taken an interest in the fainting episodes. News of the initial fainting episodes had been shared there, the epidemiologist, who asked to remain anonymous, told Pantoja-Melendez. Both believe that the fainting episodes in Mexico were examples of something new and alarming: mass hysteria spreading online.

☆ Amazon Launches Supply-Chain Software Service
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( Paul Berger | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +2 min

Amazon’s launch of its cloud application, AWS Supply Chain, adds Amazon to a growing list of software suppliers, such as Manhattan Associates and Blue Yonder, that help merchants juggle increasingly complex cargo flows and inventory demands. Microsoft Corp. launched its own supply-chain management software platform earlier this month. Companies are relying more on sophisticated supply-chain software as a growing share of sales shifts away from sending goods in bulk to retailers and moves more toward direct-to-consumer online sales that require better balancing and positioning of stock. Amazon has a ready audience for its software with a phalanx of small- and medium-size businesses in its third-party marketplace. The software identifies risks and provides recommendations to guard against shortages and delays so that companies can “quickly see and respond to potential supply-chain disruptions,” said Diego Pantoja-Navajas, vice president of AWS Supply Chain at Amazon Web Services.
