Good morning, Brew Daily show.

I'm Neil Freyman.

And I'm Kyle Hagey.

Today, why CEOs are cutting employees and openly bragging about it.

And why watching football this year just got a little bit harder.

It's Thursday, September 4th.

Let's Ride.

Kyle, there is nothing more frustrating than buying some avocados from the store to make guac for a party, only to realize they're either too ripe or not soft enough for perfect smashing.

Well, avocado guesswork may be a thing of the past, thanks to technology.

Tesco, the UK's biggest supermarket chain, is introducing avocado infrared scanners to five of its stores to help customers gauge the ripeness of the fruit.

Simply hold the avocado up to the scanner, and it'll return one of two ripeness readings,

whether it's ready for smashing or better for slicing.

Now, this has divided a lot of people.

One Tesco avocado buyer said the scanner would help people make better shopping decisions

and cut down on waste.

Others say it is a gimmick, and that giving the avocado a quick squeeze works perfectly fine.

Kyle, are you team scanner or team squeeze?

Look, I'm team squeeze.
