Walmart is tracking their customers.

How long until other stores, restaurants and gas stations do this too?

A good reason to shop elsewhere.

Very slippery slope.

For me, that only increases the chances I’ll buy online, even it’s buying from WalMart.

Walmart won’t be scanning my face.

I’ve discovered Jet.com. Jet.com is owned by Walmart and a much better alternative than Amazon (owned by liberal extremist Jeff Bezos).

I buy the commodities I used to buy from Walmart from Jet and have them delivered at no additional charge (over $35). I buy my fresh and frozen goods from my local supermarket.

I cannot stand Jeff Bezos and his Washington Post so this is one way of boycotting Amazon.

"...angry and displeased shoppers rapidly accommodated..."


Michelle 0bama will have a trail of handwringing Wal-Mart employees following her around the store given her angry permascowl.

This isn’t new. Walmart has been taking facial pictures of their customers for years.

FYI, I’m always irritated having to go to Walmart.

I wonder how many MILLIONS of shoppers will no longer shop at Walmart because of this practice?

I'm NOT interested in having my face in a data recognition program.

It’s bad enough that they have camera monitors in the cosmetic department when I’m trying to choose lipstick, showing my face and flashing “RECORDING”.

Discriminating against those with RBF.

They don’t need no fancy-smancy technology to improve customer happiness: start with stocking your damn shelves on Sunday and Monday so they don’t look like a horde from Venezuela snatched everything up.

DMV offices are also using this technology to see if they can turn those smiles upside down.

I’m not sure but I think Kohl’s already does this.

Yet another reason on a loooong list of reasons to stay the hell away from Wal-Mart.
