Comment on Sainsbury’s tests facial recognition technology in effort to tackle shoplifting

Haha, it’s been coming for ages. I’m pretty bored of being treated like some kind of cattle criminal in Sainsbury’s, having to go through their gated self checkout system (because it costs too much to employ a human) and obviously scan my receipt to get out because goodness knows after getting absolutely rinsed on prices I have to prove that I’ve paid too.
Fucking scumbag execs, hope they choke on the profits 👍

In US, you can just skip all the bullshit security legally.
It is a them problem, they need to prove you stole.
I generally tell security politely I get that their owner makes them do this but I don't have to comply with the request. If they got a problem call the police and I will wait to sort it out.
They just wave me out.

Mm but then you’re in the US which I think is worse than Sainsbury’s

I am not sure tbh... based on how UK treats pro palestine vibes... we still have civil liberties in the US for middle age and older people who got a decent job. for now.
