I wasn't against the idea of using facial recognition (age/gender) to do things like recommend products, where I first saw it in Japan on train station vending machines.
The difference is that in my example the camera was in a very obvious spot, here it seems it is covertly collecting facial recognition data, and users weren't aware it was happening until a student noticed this error.
I wouldn't mind if like I told my phone to send out a signal "I am a man, but I like cold tea". Partnering together with the machine to help me buy something I will enjoy is truly helpful.
