  Sainsbury’s goes from bad to worse.

  They stopped doing hot food in the cafe. Then the cafe was closed six months later due to a lack of business, what a shock.

  Those ‘nectar price’ so called discounts which are often just a non card holder surcharge.

  Then they started asking you to scan your receipt to leave the store. Screw that I’m not a performing monkey. No one cares if you set the alarm off walking through anyway so what’s the point.

  Last time I was there there was a big tv beeping at me and showing a video with a facial recognition thing as I went past.

  Truly dismal experience. I mostly go to Aldi these days.

  “A correct alert was sent to the retailer, but was subsequently subject to human error in the way it was handled in store,” [Facewatch] said.

  They can’t even admit it was wrong. What was correct about misidentifying someone?

    To the contrary – the error was apparently how the human handled the alert. They’re making the case for more AI 🫠

  If they’re going to normalise this shit, I’m going to normalise wearing face masks and dark glasses.

    Normalise not using businesses that do this. Sainsburys are off my list already.
