I had a pretty significant attack from individuals trying to demonstrate just how much data they can access on native systems. The self checkouts are less of a concern than the amount of harassment that can already be done utilizing fraud analytics and loyalty programs.
I am glad to see biometric pay become a thing at Amazon, it has been too slow for this to progress. Being able to take a walk to the store, and not carry a wallet is a huge convenience. Shame I am not shopping with them much other than the occasional Whole Foods purchase after being thrown into the law enforcement vs local response loop when analytics were being misused.
The palm biometric solution is a decent happy medium (vs fingerprint or retina scanning) and something international travelers are already used to.
They didn’t show me any examples of RFID issues other than some guy obtaining a wand and taking inventory of the dogs in the neighborhood. Not a big deal compared to the personal bias and insults they could chase one around with - all over internet platforms using fraud and marketing analytics.
The loyalty programs are in pretty bad shape. I dropped a bunch of them wasn’t worth maintaining for the level of griefing someone can do on games and social media about purchases.
