Great! Wegman's when you see my face walk through the door please get the slackers in the back to restock the kombucha. I'm sick of there only being one case or no cases of the flavors I like.

No fool that is not the reason.

These are Flock Cameras they are used for survalance of your license plate. So Trump administration can invade your privacy.

They are being litigated in many states.

Only MAGA morons would thing overreach by the Government is a good thing.

Started under biden, fyi.

This one is a left wing pet project, not magas.

This is illegal in Virginia.

I was told that Wegmans has a self checkout that can scan your credit card in your wallet. I have more than one card as well as a debit card so how does it know which card I will use.

Target, Walmart and a whole bunch of stores already do this. Where have you been? You should expect zero privacy in public or private businesses.

It's a security measure. When shoplifters are identified, their facial characteristics are in the system so they can be identified quickly in the future, and ejected or monitored closely if allowed to remain on site. Only stores with a high rate of "shrinkage" are using this tech. Don't steal, and you have nothing to worry about; your face is of little intrinsic interest to anyone if you're behaving yourself. Or take your business elsewhere; I'm sure Wegman's would prefer to patronize a different store if you think you have something to hide by showing your face at a Wegman's property.

Please describe how the scan is being used. Cross-referenced? with something?

Things like this do not bother me.

You know how much loss they probably have from shoplifting in this location? Grocery is a low margin business.

People go right to Wegmans is cooperating with ICE. Instead of more obvious answers. They have a right to protect their business and staff in an environment where local law enforcement isn’t going to be available or do it.

What is the purpose?

Anyway, wear a mask. It’s flu season.

A little different, no?

Shouldn’t have my data collected if I want to buy a loaf of bread.
