It’s weird how everyone kind of forgot how Walmart killed the high street and town shops. To me they are as evil as Amazon.
Dunno. I place Amazon under Walmart.
Amazon’s bullshit goes waaay past retail though. and they did to independent online stores what Walmart did to brick and motor stores, but even more blatantly and directly. just look at what they did to diapers.com
the real scary part of Amazon is how much control they have through Amazon Web services. i get a chill every time i remember that Jeff bezos controls one of the largest backbones of the Internet. like imagine if Walmart owned the highways…
This will surely end in the first case of someone being punished for turning it off.
Body cameras and the footage they gather are commonly advertised as a way to prevent shoplifting, but Walmart intends to use the tech for worker safety — not as a loss prevention tool, according to a person familiar with the program.
Doubt
They might be prepping for the food riots.
“We saw you were on an unauthorized smoke break, Kevin. We saw it through your own eyes.”
“Next time, we’d really appreciate it if you could hold your phone in front of the camera so we can verify whom you’re speaking with while on company property. Outside communications are prohibited while at work to ensure safety of company assets. Thanks for your cooperation.”
It wasn’t me! I was letting Becky borrow my smock because it’s cold outside at the smoking table!
But we can’t make police wear them and keep them on?
Qualified immunity is a bitch
Big brother cameras on the screens wasn’t enough for them…
i wear one frequently but that is because i live around a lot of law enforcement
they tend to need a camera on them even around their homes
I’m inclined to think this could actually protect some employees considering the BS they probably have to go through thanks to the general public. It shouldn’t be necessary. But maybe in the society we have today it’s better than nothing?
