Mine has had these, but only on locked cabinets, for years.
I don't know if they review 'em tho. Got sick and fucking tired of needing an employee to open the cabinent with the dog treats (most of the time, nobody even comes no matter how long I wait or how many time I press the button for service) so I got my own universal barrel key that opens their cabinets and just take what I need. Sometimes, I even pay for it.
I might put on my goin out overalls and check these things out. Ain't my fault I'm a true american with pockets full of wet clay. Takes a pressure washer to get that kind out mud out from under my fingernails.
Let those among us who haven’t accidentally packed our pockets with wet clay cast the first clod
I mean, that Walmart already is going to have had cameras all over the ceiling for a long time.
I'm a little annoyed by a local sandwich shop having their ordering kiosk
which had a camera added
recognize me and start recommending things based on my prior purchases there.
Now when I order at a kiosk, if I see something that looks like a camera, I put my hand over it.
Dude... Are you really oblivious to the difference? These are for facial recognition, eye tracking and surveillance pricing through RFID price tags.
The only part of that not really possible with ceiling cameras is eye tracking, you don't need eye-level cameras for the other two.
Find the peanut butter aisle. Then make all the aisles peanut butter aisles.
I suddenly feel the need to grab my largest tipped sharpie and a mask and walk around Walmart for the first time in years
pro-tip: use paint pen.
sharpie comes of with alcohol.
paint comes off with scraping and scratching cheap plastic camera lenses.
What the actual fuck
This is for dynamic pricing
Looks like a used gum disposal unit to me
Sometimes I pick up a shirt and then decide I don't want it, so I just leave it on any old shelf. I'm not very neat about it, and it might hang over the edge a bit. Oops.
I know someone directly involved with this work/these changes and Walmart absolutely shares this stuff with law enforcement basically freely
Thoroughly illegal in the EU. Luckily Walmart doesn't operate there.
It wasn't luck. They tried and failed, on account of how many of their normal practices are illegal in the EU.
Have you ever seen the security room at a Walmart? If you ever thought you weren't on camera in a Walmart, you were. It's like a casino.
That particular camera looks like it is in a locking case, usually for hight theft items. The bizarre thing here is why the extra security on Sugar in the Raw and what looks like maybe Stevia.
Funny thing is, the regional grocer in my area has cameras up all over the entrances and parking lot. In my situation, there is less surveillance at Walmart than the “other guy”.
Surge pricing, here we come!
Pretty soon they'll just assign a drone to follow each customer. Well, not EACH customer, that would be weird.
Just the minorities.
Are we supposed to understand what's going on here? I sure don't.
How many different scenarios can you put together for a company putting cameras on shelves in a store?
What's to guess about, here?
Probably billed as anti theft. Likely some form of surge pricing
Also facial recognition, eye tracking, body language analysis - creating the glass shopper, selling the data for peanuts while violating any decency. Legislation is so far behind the current reality that it isn't even funny anymore.
The last federally-passed privacy law concerned video store workers not sharing what VHS tapes you rent. Because it was the 80's...
They could do it like Minority Report where it scans you as you grab the item and automatically withdraw the money from your bank account. Tho it's not gonna be reliable, so they're just gonna be stealing your money just walking by the shelf sometimes.
Probably also a way to track items on the shelves for inventory and ordering. Potentially a way to make sure employees and straightened up the isles/products at the end of the day.
Probably not for surge pricing, they already do all the tracking with Bluetooth for the most part since everyone always has their phone and no longer turns off Bluetooth to save battery.
People are stealing sugar?
I'm not a scientist or anything, but that seems like really bad news
Oops, my greasy hands just smeared over the lens!
... Whoops, this one too!
If I ever end up back in a Walmart and see these, I'm definitely setting something in front of them.
Never really got the appeal of walmart, they have only had some I wanted maybe twice over the last 20 years.
Oh well, yet another reason to never go somehwere.
I'm not sure how many shop there because it appeals to them
only by necessity for me. the next cheapest store is on the other side of town with at leat a couple dozen traffic lights and intersections between us.
For many smaller towns, it's the store. And for larger towns, it's still a 1-shop stop. If you're busy and need to grab gym shorts, a hammer, groceries, and a new router you can do it all in one place on the way home from.work.
For many people it's nearest grocery
Oh, these Cheerios are too bulky! I guess I'll just place them here, right in front of this electronic eyeball. Pure coincidence.
