Walmart uses fave tracking software to track your shoplifting and they’ll wait to prosecute until the total amount sums up to felony amount. Can get kinda risky
That’s so fucking evil, intentionally not giving the “shoplifter” a warning or threat, but waiting until they’ve stolen just enough potatoes so that it can get them serious trouble. The same fucking corporations that daily throw away an unimaginable amount of food because it wasn’t profitable enough to sell at a reasonable price.
that was a small part of it but as a proud member of n95 gang i don’t really have to worry as much about face tracking (i think??). i did always cover my tattoos and such before shoplifting for similar reasons though.
yeah i was vaguely aware that was a thing but similarly never knew if it was a real factor. just like i can’t say for sure how helpful a mask really is, though i have to assume it works to some extent. “thankfully” i actually have a p bad limp that comes and goes and affecting it to various degrees was part of my method (just in case). sort of a sidebar but i remember one of the big things i was excited for during the early days of my transition was the idea that it might help obfuscate my identity a bit
anyway stealing can honestly be kind of a lot of work! can’t beat the savings though plus it’s just a lot of fun.
unfortunately as a trans women the costs of getting caught now are sort of unacceptably high so that’s another huge reason i ultimately stopped

I know target has been doing that for years, when did Walmart start?

There are also non facial ID methods (such as gait recognition), but I don’t know if they are in use.
