    For one it normalised the dystopian behavior. The comment above proves my point.

    Secondly, employees go places there are no security cameras, like bathrooms.

    Thirdly, it encourages other employers to follow suit.

    Fourthly, why? What is it being used for? You can bet it’s going to be a way to monitor employees.

    Fifth, cameras aren’t free so by being okay with this means you are okay with Loblaws raising prices so they can pay for these cameras.

      I’m really fucking dumb and didn’t think of this from the perspective of the workers… Thanks for this comment, totally makes sense when you consider the employees.

      I work customer service too, so extra dumb on my part.

        No problem! These things are always presented to the general public as being innocuous When they clearly are not. When we are bombarded with that perspective it’s hard to approach it any other way.
