> Supermarkets in the UK point cameras at your face at self-checkout.

Though this is true, many supermarkets use this as a scare tactic instead of surveillance. I know a few people who work in supermarkets and when when incidents happen they can't use footage from the self-checkouts because they're not recording.

I do wonder if the cameras exist in the machines so one day they can be recording and performing face recognition however.
