Kroger introducing AI at self checkout to lower both accidental and organized crime theft.::undefined
We have self-checkouts at some chains, but you know why they are not usable? Because they are CARD-ONLY. So to pay cash, I have to stand in a bigger queue.
I’m going to have to ask - why not just use a card?
Because I don’t like to broadcast all my transactions and use money that doesn’t belong to me.
Would a debt card from a non profit building society not be ok?
(Are building societies a UK thing only?)
What do you mean even? Wouldn’t it still be a debit card that tracks your activity and where they can theoretically take away your money?
Building societies (similar to mutuals elsewhere?) Are not trying to get every last penny out of you so won’t be tracking/selling that data. (Though their credit cards might?)
Not sure where the taking your money comes from?
I doubt it would even be technically/legally possible to not keep logs of spendings from a debit card. I like to have privacy at least in my day-to-day transactions, and I do want more people also using cash.
