Title: Pleased I don't fill up at Tescos
Post by: Nickbat on 04 November 2013, 14:51:48
I use Shell only so, for the time being at least, I'll avoid this:

I'll carry on using Morrisons for the time being I think, especially as it's only £127.9 per litre unleaded by me.  :o  :y

They say it dosn't use face recognition technology and maybe it dosn't at the moment, but how long before the authorities decide it would be a handy tool for the 'war on terror'?  ::)  :-\

Don't like the sound of that at all. As already said, " they" will use it in other ways!

They put you on candid camera while your filling up,then you use your Tesco clubcard for the points when you pay.They then have a face to put to the name (and all the other info they hold on you) which makes your "file" more valuable wheh they sell it to whoever wants to buy it.
Imo its sinister,outrageous,and shouldn't be legal without consent.If it becomes a trend,we should all take to wearing bhurkas. That,ll f*** em.

That could be interesting, I put the fuel in but my wife goes in to pay.  ;D ;D

I use Shell, so not a problem.  :y

You can probably guarantee they already do. Personally - I wouldn't have a problem with that either. Using it commercially to target me to send me more cr*p than I already get - agreed - s*d off..

Privacy issues aside - not an issue for me, because Tesco are already at the top of my "wouldn't p155 on if they were on fire" list, but when it already takes people sodding hours to pay for their fuel, do the weekly shop and get their car off the forecourt so I can fill up, do they really need yet another pointless distraction to add to the process? >:(

I couldn't give a flying how many cameras capture me during the day, it won't change my outlook or attitude on life.


PS

+1 for what Kevin says  :y
