I had a very disturbing experience at the T&T Supermarket in Kanata, and I’m trying to figure out if Loblaws has quietly deployed facial recognition technology across their stores.
I was shopping when an ununiformed man suddenly blocked my path. Before identifying himself as the store manager or giving any clear explanation, he physically prevented me from moving away.
What shocked me the most was his reaction to my clothing. I was wearing attire featuring political satire, but my face was fully visible the entire time. Instead of handling this professionally, the manager resorted to physical intimidation and threatened to use "facial recognition" to record my face and put me on a "national blacklist" across all T&T locations.

Even if a store has a policy regarding certain expressive clothing, a manager has absolutely no right to physically detain a customer and threaten them with biometric tracking and corporate blacklists.
Has anyone else noticed invasive surveillance or facial recognition cameras at T&T or other Loblaws-owned stores? Are they actually collecting our biometric data without consent, or was this manager just using it to bully a customer?

My manager is forcing us to do a proof of concept of using copilot (this is for writing software test scripts). We already had another guy do one with playwright recently. 7 years ago they replaced the existing recorded scripts and started using selenium and Java handwritten scripts. He is not a technical person and is very aggressive so you can't say like what about the data centers destroying the planet. Help
