The supermarket has confirmed it’s trialling a new system for self-service after a surprised shopper took to social media to ask what was happening.

“I was kinds confused and thought maybe it was a malfunction or something,” he said. “But I looked over my shoulder and saw the person next to me had the same thing.”

A Woolworths spokesman told news.com.au: "We know the vast majority of our customers do the right thing at our self-serve check-outs. This is a new security measure we're trialling for those that don’t. The video taken by Woolies at the self-service checkout is not recorded or stored and the cameras aren't able to view the card PIN pad section.The sign spotted inside the outlet, located in Sydney's inner west read: “Do not remove broccoli stalks. Otherwise be charged double."The sneaky crack of the stem is so widespread that grocers are finding legions of them abandoned at the bottom of broccoli crates.

Idiots!!!! It’s not even recording! My god you people are so fkn freaked out and think everyone is watching you oooooooo check your makeup fool that’s all it’s good for

So they’re not worried about all the other in store cameras, mall cameras, street cameras? And if they use the Woolworths rewards card their concern is void seeing it captures every purchase.

Quick fix to that just don’t use self serve. They will soon get the message

There is no consent provided to record as required under the Privacy Act. Why are no journalists reporting this?

So use personed checkout from now on... Don't want my face photoshoped onto some adult film star...

More people allowed at weddings, funerals as NSW restrictions easedTwenty people will be able to attend weddings and 50 people can go to funerals from Monday as the NSW Government announces a further easing of coronavirus restrictions.
