Funny thing is, the regional grocer in my area has cameras up all over the entrances and parking lot. In my situation, there is less surveillance at Walmart than the “other guy”.
Surge pricing, here we come!
Kroger stores are especially bad
Oh, these Cheerios are too bulky! I guess I'll just place them here, right in front of this electronic eyeball. Pure coincidence.
Oh I got nail polish on my finger accidentally. Good place to wipe it off.
Accidentally.
Find the peanut butter aisle. Then make all the aisles peanut butter aisles.
Thoroughly illegal in the EU. Luckily Walmart doesn't operate there.
It wasn't luck. They tried and failed, on account of how many of their normal practices are illegal in the EU.
I still have rather fond memories of shopping at Walmart in Germany. Tho I was a child and it always was more of an experience than a chore. Then Wexit happened and the world's gone to shit ever since
Not yet, at least. It seems that they operate almost everywhere else though
They actually tried it in the EU but failed hard.
This is why they're losing to Amazon.
No it's because their website sucks
I mean, that Walmart already is going to have had cameras all over the ceiling for a long time.
I'm a little annoyed by a local sandwich shop having their ordering kiosk
which had a camera added
recognize me and start recommending things based on my prior purchases there.
Now when I order at a kiosk, if I see something that looks like a camera, I put my hand over it.
Dude... Are you really oblivious to the difference? These are for facial recognition, eye tracking and surveillance pricing through RFID price tags.
The only part of that not really possible with ceiling cameras is eye tracking, you don't need eye-level cameras for the other two.
To a point, but if you want it done more efficiently in multiple ways, you get cameras like this.
Seriously though, do you even know what you are arguing for here? What you are defending? Insecure people on the internet, trying to be right for the sake of it, even if it means casually normalizing the next indicator of our fascist takeover.
What are you doing?
I might put on my goin out overalls and check these things out. Ain't my fault I'm a true american with pockets full of wet clay. Takes a pressure washer to get that kind out mud out from under my fingernails.
Let those among us who haven’t accidentally packed our pockets with wet clay cast the first clod
I know someone directly involved with this work/these changes and Walmart absolutely shares this stuff with law enforcement basically freely
Mine has had these, but only on locked cabinets, for years.
I don't know if they review 'em tho. Got sick and fucking tired of needing an employee to open the cabinent with the dog treats (most of the time, nobody even comes no matter how long I wait or how many time I press the button for service) so I got my own universal barrel key that opens their cabinets and just take what I need. Sometimes, I even pay for it.
Tell me more about how one procures a universal barrel key.
You go to your favorite search engine and enter "universal barrel key."

Looks like a used gum disposal unit to me
Sometimes I pick up a shirt and then decide I don't want it, so I just leave it on any old shelf. I'm not very neat about it, and it might hang over the edge a bit. Oops.
