| 2024-07-07 | |
| [Breitbart] Some grocery stores in Alabama and Oklahoma now have American Rounds vending machines which allow customers to buy ammo for their guns while getting a cart full of groceries for their families. Cleveland.com reported on the vending machines, noting they are currently in six locations and “[use] artificial intelligence technology to verify a buyer’s identification and age through card scanning and facial recognition software.” One of the locations is a Fresh Value store in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Terry Stanley, COO of the Fresh Value, said, “We’re always looking for ways to give our customers another reason to come visit our stores. Anything we can do to help them make their shopping trips easier, based on the feedback we’ve gotten from customers today, they are so excited about us having this ammo kiosk.” American Rounds, the company which manufactures and distributes the ammo vending machines, has a statement on its website explaining that their system of purchase age and eligibility checks “ensures that all transactions comply with federal and local regulations, maintaining the highest standards of responsible sales.” Additionally, American Rounds pointed out, “We are committed to providing a secure environment that customers can trust for their ammunition needs.”

| #1 It cuts down on the extended delays that some stores have to find a sale person to unlock the ammo cabinet. (Wally World's 5 to 10 min). |
