I was just about to ask do we think they have facial recognition and are you now marked. No doubt that information is already on President Xi's desk.Some stores have facial recognition systems and on a known shoplifter entering will trigger a message to staff in the store… and this is shared across all the stores so that if you move into a different location, the system will still flag you.
It’s possible that you’re a match for a known shoplifter … so you must look dodgy AF
That being said, the messages across the tannoy I wouldnt say are right, and i would be writing to complain.
With a keyboard, right?I must try this in the large Boots in the retail park. Once the tanoy starts I’ll start swinging at the first do-Gooder who arrives on scene.
It sounds like the facial recognition if they've got it is of the usual poor quality type that doesn't actually work well in the real world with false positives (and worse for the store, probably a high false negative rate).Some stores have facial recognition systems and on a known shoplifter entering will trigger a message to staff in the store… and this is shared across all the stores so that if you move into a different location, the system will still flag you.

I guess that would be OCR rather than facial recognitionGoing into Boots with a backpack and a cap on?
You might as well tattoo SHOPLIFTER on your forehead.

Glad it wasn't just me wondering what the punchline was going to be.Bloody hell OP
I was reading that and thought, this must be a joke.
I was looking for a cheap antibacterial mouthwash reading the ingredients on a few of them, eventually I just went to the counter and asked if the Boots branded version was as good as the Corsodyl one, she was very offish with me and I had staff lingering right by me, I purchase the mouthwash, leave the store pretty annoyed but tried to shrug it off.
they play a message on some buses in the USA along the same lines because there must be a lot of trouble on buses in the USA!
I'd seen that shoplifting is increasing, but seems the Waitrose customers must be the most likely to do that ?
leastways this morning went through their self checkout and they have mounted 9+" tablets above terminals showing its CCTV of yourself/surroundings. (hope they are chinese)
