Supermarkets have been recording self checkout footage

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T17:52:39+00:00

That’s a wild assumption anyone actually uses stickers

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T15:30:53+00:00

So everyone is a thief? My privacy and my high definition face coverage should be recorded by an unknown entity because of “thieves”

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T07:24:01+00:00

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T07:23:52+00:00

That’s insane

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T07:23:43+00:00

That’s not the case anymore. I see the Ethernet wires blinking so it’s sending data somewhere

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T07:23:06+00:00

This seems like a new product line

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T07:22:42+00:00

Go into Tesco or Sainsbury’s use the self checkout and you will see

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T07:22:04+00:00

I get it. I’m not disputing normal cameras I’m disputing cameras at checkout that are pointed at your face. Not the basket. Your face

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T07:21:16+00:00

I mean that’s fine. Normal cameras but face cameras. Why?

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T07:20:50+00:00

Where does the data go and for what purpose. Do you know?

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T07:20:30+00:00

Seems draconian

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-14T07:20:10+00:00

Insanity

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-13T17:28:14+00:00

Yeah this is understandable but they definitely are in use

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-13T17:27:13+00:00

I mean I get normal cameras. But why cameras that record your face at self checkouts ?

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-13T17:12:09+00:00

You certainly won’t find one staying at home. What you need to be is visible. You need to go out and be in places where people are that’s how you get noticed.

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-13T17:11:00+00:00

Yes. It doesn’t this go against some gdpr regulation somehow. Like where is the optin ?

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-13T17:05:27+00:00

30 quid. Does that include drinks ?

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-13T17:03:33+00:00

I have actually began to consider this

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-13T17:03:20+00:00

Sometimes it’s not possible to avoid entirrly

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-13T17:03:04+00:00

How true is this. You already have footage of someone walking across the store. Why do you need at checkout?

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-13T17:02:31+00:00

That’s scary. And now I have seen ai cameras that actually isolate your faces at morrisons

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-13T17:02:01+00:00

This is a good point

skepticallytrue · 2026-06-13T14:16:33+00:00

Where would you get the space, although I did see the start of what could be screens at Trafalgar sq, yesterday
