Hannaford South Burlington VT University Mall
Where do I begin?
It starts in the parking lot where there's a license plate reader, (that pole with the cameras and blinking lights) which also records your car and it's characteristics: stickers, dents, etc. They then match that data with your payment method in the store after recording your face using the three-point system. Distance between your eyes, and down to your mouth. This is BAD already. They sell this information to God knows who, and volunteer it law enforcement.
Entering Hannafords lot is where tracking your movements and shopping habits begin.
There are video screens showing you moving about the aisles--every aisle. This is used as intimidation. You see your pretty face in HD at the cash registers also. Self checkout? You save Hannaford money by doing their work.
The reward? I was stopped at the door today by a girl who says "I need to see your receipt." OK... Everything checked out correctly. The girl says "Oh that happens sometimes." No apology, by the way. Instead of handing me my receipt, SHE THREW MY RECEIPT INTO MY SHOPPING CART AND HURREDLY WALKED AWAY.
They treat customers like they're idiots. I know that I was stopped because one of the lackeys in loss-prevention watching the video console decided I looked like a good candidate to harass. There's no anti-theft devices on their groceries. Where would they put them--inside the overpriced chicken quarters I paid for???
The community at-large accepts this gross invasion of privacy and is happy to act as unpaid cashiers for the store with self-checkout. So yeah, I can see where they feel that we're suckers. But again, I just loved being stopped at the door after paying for my groceries.
Should you ever be wrongfully detained, take out your phone and call the police and have the officer ask for the video showing your "suspicious behavior." Nothing will come of it, but you can disrupt their store operation, making it into a distraction that you can drag out.
Dear Hannaford Brothers, please accept my middle finger as a gift to you, and as a sweetener I'm transferring all of my precriptions to Price Chopper/Market32. With the prices you charge, it's YOU who are the crooks. Stop projecting... Try to be sure before you stop customers at the door, you half-witted morons. Two words for you...
Lowes, Walmart, and Home Depot also have these privacy-violating technologies on their properties.
But I've never been stopped at the door by these retailers...
One more time: TWO WORDS FOR HANNAFORD!
What do people see in this overpriced supermarket chain?
