  It’s a nice thought but good luck not getting caught on the 3k cameras in the store and following you to your car.

    It would be a shame if your phone was infected by a malware that rewrites all the prices in the tags in your vicinity.

      Why is everything suddenly $800.85? :-P

        These tags are e-ink, so there could be monochrome pictures!

    Of course I wouldn’t be doing it without some preparation.

    Security cameras in stores are kept purposely garbage so they don’t get bugged by the police to provide footage to them. Unless something changed in the last decade since I worked in a retail joint.

      I can tell you from personal experience that there exists a very happy corporate servant who is happy to give footage to police. The security cameras in some stores are shit because the owner is cheap (this is the case with most gas stations).

      Why would they care?

  My local Woolies has had e-ink tags for at least two years, maybe more. Between this and Coles hiring Palantir, we mostly shop at Aldi. Bunnings and Kmart using facial recognition as if it’s no biggie as well. How long until they partner with CBA to check your credit card limit as you stand in front of the bananas to see how much you’ll pay?

    They’re opening an Aldi’s near me. I’m excited.

      Aldi’s is the shit. No bloat, no bs, just groceries. They don’t have some stuff, but for the staples you’re set. I usually go to the more traditional grocery store every 4th trip or so.
