This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
And then there's guys like me. I don't announce when I'm coming. I grab the items myself, and then I pay in cash. Nonsequential bills. I'm like a ninja! I can't be traced! Shashasha!!!! Pocket sand!
Then on the way home, if I see someone following me home, I make 3 left turns. If they're STILL following me? I turn around, and I shoot them........a dirty look!
What? I'm not a psychopath. I just don't like being followed.
they're still fingerprinting and tracking devices, pairing that data to facial rec and movement tracking from cameras, and all that to register transaction data.
Target is full of video cameras and apparently they can ID people almost instantly now. Although I wear an N95 mask in the store, so maybe that helps. Main reason for wanting parking lot pickup is to stay out of the store, as infection prevention. I do go in when I have to, but try to get out quickly. I find it is quicker to get the stuff in the store and pay at self-checkout, than to order online and then wait around for them to show up at the service desk, so I mostly don't do the latter any more.
