“These innovative shopping cart handles would collect your biometric data, meaning your stress level, your body temperature, and heart rate — all while you’re strolling through the aisles of your local store, filling your cart with Walmart’s everyday low-priced items. Putting a positive spin on data collection”

I wonder if their scan can read past gloves? If not, I could see a sudden interest in gloves coming back into fashion.
Puhleeeeze.
How many people are going to go to that kind of trouble to thwart Big Brother?
HIPAA should stop this from advancing. The data should be given to the customer first. An associate is not a first responder.
Gotta control that world population.
At every single place.
The 4th beast from Daniel will tolerate no dissent.
They should program it to recognize a shopper’s intention to shoplift and send an associate to follow that person and interact if necessary. /s
Innovative=invasion of privacy. They don’t need to know their customers’ private medical information.
Like mood rings, oh, yeah. ;-D
Not that I plan or want to be here when that happens.
They already have cameras in stores that follow your eyes so they can use the data to decide how to place their most profitable items.
I would never shop at a store like that
If Walmart is collecting bio metric
data, and I’m not trying to be their
defender in this case, it could be
that they are trying to make your
shopping trips easier and less
stressful. What I get the most po’d
about is people stopping to gab in
the middle of the isles, and 20 people
standing in line at the only 3 open
registers of 20 or more. Or people
buying $200 bucks worth of groceries
at the tobacco isle, and they don’t
smoke. I dip (bad habit I know).
If their future research can expedite
my shopping, I’m all for it. Until they
are able to tie my reactions to my debit
card. I will then wheel in my own cart.
My heart rate accelerated when I saw a couple melons — and I wasn’t in the produce section.
Check out lines as we know them will go away. Even self-checkout.
This commercial is from 11 years ago.

” *%#!!!... Big Brother”
and his twin sister Nosy Rosie! Whole lot of folks beginning with Gubment types, so-called celebrities and leftists should simply stick to their knitting....before they get a eye poked out with a needle.
Damn, I was hoping for round wheels
I have the right to take my pocket Degausser anywhere I like. They better have a good cart mechanic handy.
