“Camera technology trial in process,” the note begins. UH OH. Woolies is onto us! To be fair, it was only a matter of time. Still, it brings a tear to my eye knowing I’ll never be able to scan through onions as a watermelon, carrots as portobello mushrooms or salt as saffron ever again (hypothetically). You gotta love how Woolies chucked that URL on the end knowing full well nobody can be fucked reading its privacy policy. People who want to save time by using the self-checkout do not have a spare 10 minutes to trawl through a privacy lawyer’s idea of soft-core erotica. It simply doesn’t compute. Commenters on the post were quick to point out that Woolies’ self-checkout machines have been using this camera tech for a while. Another commenter pointed out the harsh reality that we’re not trained cashiers. Give us a break! We’re simply just regular people trying our best (or in some cases, not trying at all). BRB, practising my best “oh my God I’m so sorry! I legitimately didn’t realise” line. An actor prepares (hypothetically). At the end of the day, we still have the by the team at Semper Floreat.
