I remember seeing a video of their system behind the scenes, maybe in an attempt to reassure us we're not being facial recognitioned or something -- it showed height dots walking around the store.
Hmm, so it's actually far worse.. I suppose that means gait analysis, too (≈mood/tiredness?). Combined with where you go in the store, how you pause at each display, what time of day/week, then finally correlating it with your card details and direct in your face camera at the checkout.
It's an incredibly detailed picture of who someone is.
What a lovely relationship they have with Palantir and Microsoft. I love being a participant in the genocide machine every time I feed myself. (I'm assuming Coles is still in bed with them).
Another reason to go to IGA instead
No idea why someone downvoted you.
Would prefer lots of independent stores than 3 massive conglomerates
