> you need to pass through facial recognition to enter the store and there are multiple cameras tracking whether you try to leave without paying. Totally irrelevant point. Walk into any supermarket in a Western country these days. The place is crawling in CCTV. The packets of steak and other "expensive" stuff have RFID anti-theft tags on them. The self-service checkouts have close-up CCTV and anti-theft weight comparison systems. Many even employ security contractors to stand by the door. Does it prevent thefts ? Does it hell. The scumbag steals the goods and says F** Y** to the security guard on the way out. By the time the police get there (if they can even be bothered to turn up for such a minor crime) its too late. So yes, I am with the original blog. CCTV or not, the sort of thing shown in the blog could only happen in Japan.
