    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?

  Masks are going to be so in fashion for this neo dystopia we’re building.

    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.

      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).
