Absolutely fucking not
We’re so f-ked.
I have so many questions. How does it differentiate customers? Like say I’m standing in line just off to the side behind someone buying a few big ticket items, when the face scan happens how will it know which face to charge? Same question for a couple people checking out together. Will I have to take my hat and sunglasses off to check out or does it use other technologies to build face maps like lidar? What if I got a broken nose or fractured orbital, can I just not buy things? What about beards, if a guy scans his face initially with a beard and shaves it, how will the system respond? Is there an upper limit on purchases made this way like there is with tap to pay? What will it do about age verified products like tobacco or alcohol?
I would bet money they didn’t test for any of that and if they did it would be within very narrow parameters.
Bro, don’t kill the vibes with all of this very real world shit that will actually happen. Just smile for the camera and it will all be over soon.
Yes, these are all problems that will be solved very, very quickly once this launches and totally fails and we never hear about it again.
How will they handle twins or people who looks very close to each other?
How easy is it to use it to scam people? If I smile in public, can I get photographed and that used to pay things? Is a smiling photo the next “they stole my card”?
Can we all just carry around a photo of bezos, musk, or a rothschild or rockerfeller, or CEOs of insurance companies, etc?
That’s it, I’m never smiling again!
The Intuit Dome in LA already does this. You grab food/drinks and it automatically charges you based on your face. And you guessed it, there have been many complaints about people getting charged for something they didn’t get. I’m never stepping foot inside that venue.

Airports already handle this on a daily basis:
Cameras scan only small field.

Probably the same as face unlock in iPhones. You can check how this works and apply answers here.
What will it do about age verified products like tobacco or alcohol?
This is just another form of payment so it will do the same as credit card or cash.
That works because it’s the TSA agent’s responsibility to make it work. This will not apply to your average stoned gas station employee.
Additionally, this system checks against specifically the driver’s license photo.
No it doesn’t. Yes it will. It’s irrelevant.
Does it work with black people? Theres a bit of a history with facial recognition training and varying features.
Didn’t apple get sued because a Chinese woman’s sister could unlock her phone?
… Just googled it and there’s multiple cases with Chinese users, including a coworker and a woman’s son.
I wonder if there’s a technical reason or just lack of neural network training on some communities.
I’m specifically thinking of the nose bridge and cheeks area of people with some Asian relatives in their gene pool. The sunken nose bridge and puffy cheeks appearance is so prevalent that a lot of prescription glasses are sold as “Asian fit” so that it clears the cheeks. My partner is half Laotian and half white/Hispanic, and she needs Asian fit glasses despite not looking particularly Asian.
I’m wondering if their facial recognition software focuses too much on the shape of the middle of the face, which could lead to close Asian relatives, who share a lot of the same genes, to be scanned as the same person as they may have the exact same nose-cheek area shape.
It works for me and my brother too. We are european though. We don’t even look that similar
Yeah it works great they don’t even need to register, the system says they already did.
Heck of a credit card bill, for that one guy. I wonder if theres a sneaky line in the TOS about how “best effort” is good enough and sticks him with the bill anyway.
Isn’t Revolut that had a data breach like 10 days ago, leaking costumer data like IBANs etc??
Oh don’t worry, they leaked your facial data then too
“I saw my buddy in the mall and I hollered out ‘Hey Doug!’. He looked over and paid for my lunch!”. /s
A couple of weeks ago I posted in c/privacy about this shit in my home country. This shit should be illegal.
Here in the UK, regular supermarkets are absolutely littered with cameras. Every fart is on record. It’s insane.
I bet the false positives are through the roof.
My apartment building has a facial recognition system to unlock the door to the building. My cousin got recognized as his brother that was in the system and the door just opened for them.
What a wonderful idea to use the same tech to deal with money.
Cue Zooey Deschanel/Kate Perry/Emily Blunt meme
Computer says no.
- you look like someone dodgy
Computer says no.
- you are flagged as a dissident terrorist
Computer says no.
- a solar storm broke electronics
Computer says nothing.
Great, now my twin can go shopping for me.
Not in a thousand fucking years
Are we gonna have to be Juggalos now?
Oh you smiled twice! Double charged.
Do people still smile once?
It’s much easier to make you smile than to force you to give up your credit card pin number when being robbed!
And you don’t even need to know you’ve been robbed. You look at a stranger on the street? Now your bank accounted is empty! How efficient!
Cards should have a duress PIN that appears to work and clears the transaction when used, but then immediately locks the account and flags it for fraud investigation.
Is it not your PIN entered backwards anymore?
But what if your PIN is a palindrome?
You’re always calling for help hahaha
Literally already works if I know your credit card number. Fraudulent charges are possible, but well. Fraud tends to be prosecuted and illegal.
