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.
When I was a kid, I used to go to a tuition where you had to scan your face whenever you went out or came in; this felt even more dystopian. Where did all the “for protecting children” ideology go that all the corporations and governments were fixated upon? That thing is still there and will always continue to scan children’s faces. I stopped scanning my face there after some months, but I don’t know how much of a change that would’ve made, they must’ve already got my face.
