      What are the alternatives? I am am expat, and I like Bunnings (as in like it, I even purchased my water bottle there lol). Now that they started surveillance what are the similar stores where I can kill my curiousity?

        Just effectively they have monopolised, have unfair trading practices with small businesses that supply goods, are increasingly changing product for their own brand which then means the “lowest price guaranteed” is pretty null and void because you can’t buy their items anywhere else.

        Just noting, I watched this a long time ago, but it left a bad enough taste in my mouth to stop me from going there any more

          I had to grab some screws the other day and they literally had ripoffs of Really Useful’s storage units there. They’ve always been a bit shite, but this past year they’ve dived headfirst into shitty chinese marketplace crap.

        As far as I’m aware, facial recognition works mostly by measuring distances between identifiable features of a person’s face, like eyes, nose, mouth, face outline, etc. Hiding major facial features behind a mask that covers your nose, mouth and jaw can definitely confound at least some facial recognition systems. Wearing a mask and dark sunglasses is better, though some systems can penetrate through dark lenses (there are special sunglasses built to prevent this).

      I still wear a mask in public whenever the COVID numbers start to tick up again. I’ll be rocking it permanently once facial recognition is everywhere, including on other people with smart glasses.
