You’re right.
I think there are some sort of under the glass tops of counters. I was just going by a series of conversations on sites about workers discussing cameras. When we had ours put in there was talk about the topics and I looked some up.
I think your statement is right—most of the time where would they be positioned?
A woman at work said after they were putting more and more cameras in that the next places will be just behind the toilet seats in all the rest rooms. She said “Let ‘em.”
On reflection, the camera’s being placed so as to watch the employee fails on practical grounds, too.
If they’re worried about the employee taking money out of the till, that’s going to show up when the register is balanced for the next shift. The employee would be responsible for any shortfall, anyway. And if they worried the employee is going to feed off the merchandise, evading the coverage of the camera would be a trivial matter.
