Budgens records biometric details of anyone buying booze or cigarettes
A supermarket chain is introducing face recognition cameras to prevent staff mistakenly selling cigarettes and alcohol to under-18s. The biometric technology is being piloted by Budgens at one of its London branches. If successful, it could be rolled out across the country to create a database of youngsters who try to buy alcohol.
How about just using common sense and asking someone for ID? That way you don't have to steal the biometric data of any customer buying a beer, and link it into a giant database which records your movements and purchasing habits.
Which of course they would never, ever, dream of selling to anyone.
