Amazon’s Whole Foods Moves Closer to the Satanic Merchant Model of Marking and Tracking Every Customer
Earlier this year, Whole Foods rolled out their "Just Walk Out" shopping feature where one can scan a QR code tied into your Amazon.com account upon entering the store, and then skip checkout by again scanning your QR code upon leaving the store. Cameras throughout the store, along with Wifi signals, track everything you do including scanning what products you put into your cart, or take out. This technology is currently being tested at a Whole Foods store in Washington D.C., and one in Los Angeles. QR codes, however, are already old technology, as they can easily be hacked, and they are dependent on a smart device like your cell phone, which is a problem if your battery dies or you lose your phone. So Amazon.com has rolled out what will eventually replace the QR code, which is biometric scanning of your hand through Amazon One. This technology will probably quickly evolve to scanning other body parts such as your face and eyes. The technology to implant a chip into your body somewhere, also already exists.
