    All the big supermarkets already share surveillance data with each other. If this is coming to Coles it’s probably coming to every big retailer in the country

    Yet another reason not to ship at coles. They are getting a beating in their ACCC hearing too. Independent grocers and Aldi should be the default for everyone. Unfortunately, most people shop at the duopoly to their long term detriment.

    It’s good to see the abc actually calling out the implications and problems too. Not just for consumers, but for coles and for the countries interests. It makes it harder for coles to spin it as being for shareholders or for cost pressures etc.

        Yes, farmers markets are ideal but they are not as common as independent grocers.and don’t match every schedule as sometimes only open for a few hours a week.

    My local woolies recently got a fuckload more cams installed in addition to the ones they already had. The arrangement looked very similar to some of the flock setups I’ve seen people posting about. Shit sucks.
