Paying by Fingerprint at the Supermarket

Mon Mar 14,10:31 AM ET Oddly Enough - Reuters



BERLIN (Reuters) - Customers of a German supermarket chain will soon be able to pay for their shopping by placing their finger on a scanner at the check-out, saving the time spent scrabbling for coins or cards.



An Edeka store in the southwest German town of Ruelzheim has piloted the technology since November and now the company plans to equip its stores across the region.


"All customers need do is register once with their identity card and bank details, then they can shop straight away," said store manager Roland Fitterer.


The scanner compares the shopper's fingerprint with those stored in its database along with account details.


Edeka bosses said they were confident the system could not be abused.

would you use this?

would you use this?

Yes. This is the future. Credit will start to replace cash. People are bound to get worried about this, and there are causes for concern, but it's not as evil as people will make it.

In Japan, m-commerce (shopping using your mobile phone) is already popular (or so I'm told). People don't even need to use money, purchases just get charged to their mobile phone account. If you think about it, there's really not much need for physical cash.

Not a good sign for the homeless though. Can't really beg for credit

I wouldn't want to use it.

It restricts the movement of money with the power being taken away from the average person & the gain in power being made by whoever will manage these systems.

instead of someone stealing my credit card, they'll have to chop off my finger...i'll stick with the card

How so? You go into your local Ubermart, stock up on Bratwurst, go to the till and use your thumbprint to charge it all to your account, then go home to your Fraulein. I don't see how it helps anyone track you?

Still rather that than a retina scan. Ouch.

^^ you pay by cash and no one can monitor. YOu pay electronically they know what you bought, where you bought it, how much it cost. At best, supermarkets could get access to this information and give them all the marketing material they could wish for and then predict you down to a mathematical equation.

I persoanlly try to shop in different places all them time, never take store cards no matter how enticing the incentives are. Most people aren't like that. tooled with this material the supermarkets know better how to sell to us and then the public become even bigger cattle than they already are grazing over the supermarket shelves.

governements could use this information to dirty up the names of political opponents.

 

[Little Skittle]

this is definately not the mark of the beast, since it doesnt require u getting anything on/in u

 

[Jokerman]

I like it. Some people need to be tracked all the time.

 

[Pacaveli-T]

might be bad a lot of fraud can happen this way.

 

[imported_MAKaveli_10]

thats crazy

 

[Pacaveli-T]

thats crazy

what my statement or the thought of fingerprints?

 

[Default MX]

for fraud to happen someone would have to cut yer finger off .. and i dont see anyone cuttin someones hand off just to buy groceries

 

[not really ken]

^ or maybe just slice the skin of your thumb, and place it over their own
