I went to Honeygrow for the first time yesterday. Its like a salad version of Chipotle. When i was picking up my order at the counter someone was clocking in by scanning their face. I asked, “do you need to scan your face to clock in?” And she said yes in and out every day.

Ive never seen this anywhere but I dont have a job that requires clocking in anymore. This is also a place that wants you to make a profile (email and phone number) and sign in when placing your order. I opted for “guest” to avoid that.

What is the purpose of this? When i was a kid you had a manager who would know who was working. Is this like some tech solution to removing a manager, or is this something else.

    It may not be a scan, it could just be an image.

    Our workplace uses a system that takes a selfie but does not involve the use of bio-metrics. It’s up to the supervisor to check that the right person clocked in when reviewing the time cards.
