MODERATORS
Apparently the issue is cheaters using the self-checkouts according to the employee I talked to.
So now we all have to jump through more hoops instead of having another cashier or two. Ironically, there were extra staff at the door enforcing the scanning.
The scanning is also supposed to bring up your picture for identification.
They don't have a picture for me on file and gave me crap when I scanned. I just showed them my license and went on my way. I don't need my face linked to my name all over the internet when they get hacked next year.
I get that, but its a private club. If its part of their membership rules your choices are comply or not be in the private club.
Yep, totally get it. I'll squeeze by as long as I can for the sake of privacy.
To be frank, it's foolish to think your face isn't already attached to your name in innumerable databases, public and private. Costco even has cameras looking at you throughout the store and at the registers. You are not anonymous
Oh I have no preconceptions about anonymity here, I just don't want yet another hackable database with my PII that I don't need to give up. It's more of an op sec kind of issue (I say as a former cyber security dev).
Fewer is better!
Does your state sell driver's license data and picture to private companies like mine does?
I can respect that I personally hate self checkouts with a passion
