I mean, I've experienced something similar at work, except not automated.
And the amount of talking was literally just us asking each other for help. For example to help with moving a loaded pallet using a pallet jack as this was in a freezer, and the floor had frost on it (I alone would just "walk" in the same spot trying to pull or push it).
"The client has complained they heard talking, so please be quiet." (the client being a supermarket chain, or in this case, their representative)
Disregarding the manager could result in a negative point. The negative point would reduce you to minimum wage for that day.
This was in the storage area of a supermarket. A closed supermarket. It couldn't bother a single soul.
Jesus Christ
The idea that your wage can be reduced as a minor penalty is atrocious
I hope that representative found a great new job they love where their great failure respecting people can no longer hurt anyone
the fact that people like that manage to avoid having terrible terrible things done to them is a testament to the mental fortitude of the average worker
