Scan your face to clock in. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

Yeah pretty much, there's no reason to add my face into any facial recognition database in the current climate of more authoritarian levels of surveillance and with minimal trust that this data will not be sold to the highest bidder.

And before anyone asks, no i don't have any social media where i upload pictures of myself. Of course I'm probably on some pictures on the background, but at least I'm doing all i can do avoid it.
