A human makes the change locally. For example the manager in a grocery store.

Grocery chains are removing control from stores to HQ in all kinds of ways to cut cost, this is a symptom of that.

The main reason to remove control from the "boots on the ground" is to prevent errors. Not cost cutting.

The problem is not that the control is centralized, the problem is not enough security.
