Kroger Testing Fingerprint Payment System

Posted by timothy on from the keep-them-secret-keep-them-safe dept.

MachineShedFred writes "CNN is reporting that The Kroger Company is testing the use of fingerprinting as means for payment at grocery stores. The article says that it has been well received by both college students and seniors. I, for one would love to see this rolled out to all of Kroger's stores, which include Fred Meyer, Ralph's, QFC, Fry's Marketplace (not the electronics stores), and others; however I'm sure some /.-ers will have privacy concerns as well as law enforcement cooperation issues..."

    BUY HP AND ROT IN HELL!

    1. HP treats their employees like shit.

    2. HP is a giant freakish mega national corporation.

    3. HP is all about greed, selling disposable shit like its top shelf electronica.

    4. HP profits from trademarks and patents.

    5. HP is in cohoots with Micro$haft to bleed dry the money of everyone.

    So suck on that you tech obsessed sell out. DRINK DOWN THE JUICE OF YOUR CORPORATE DEMI-GODS!
