That is terrible. Not only it takes away jobs, it also gives Amazon the unprecedented access to the sensitive information about customers. I would never go to this store. Fortunately something like this will never happen in our beautiful Europe.
- ryanwaggoner 9y agoIt definitely will. Self-checkout is widely available in Europe. The laws about data and privacy will be different but this is a customer experience / labor cost play, not a ploy to get data.
- sAbakumoff 9y agoSelf checkout is a way different from thousands of video cameras that track all your moves, selection habits, etc.
- criddell 9y agoThere's a pretty good chance that stores in Europe have video cameras already there tracking where customers move, what they look at, what expressions are on their face when they read signs, etc...
- sAbakumoff 9y agoI highly doubt so. The data privacy laws are pretty strict here.
- mulmen 9y agoYou mean like widespread CCTV? I'm not sure how common it is outside of the UK but there's at least parts of Europe that have put security ahead of privacy as a norm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_surveillance_in_the_United_Kingdom#Number_of_cameras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_surveillance_in_the_Unite...
