“I work at VGT3 here in Vegas, and all we do is scan books,” an Amazon employee wrote on a forum for Amazon workers, as quoted by 404. “Some are assigned to cut books, and others go to receive where they get books and scan the barcodes. We didn’t have rates, but now we do, but it’s not stressful.”
Despite Amazon clearly trying to keep this practice under wraps, the logo for the part of the warehouse the book scanners work in, called VGT3, is so on the nose that it borders on farce: a T-Rex holding a book in its hand that it’s about to eat — which, we have to say, kind of looks AI-generated.
