I wil NEVER use Tesc's garages again...

I think this is an infringement of our privacy...

"scans the eyes of customers to determine age and gender, and then runs tailored advertisements."

What about if you are wearing sunglasses  

I usually ignore any advertising anyway but I'm sure it is an invasion of privacy at least

The thing that worries me is that they store the information for later. Bearing in mind that the human iris is as individual as fingerprints, they are keeping very personal information on people without their consent.

I think it's a little scary

How do they get away with this ???  

That's wrong, it's an infringement of your civil liberties. I might have to buy a burkha

They'll still see your eyes! 

What exactly can they tell by your gender and age anyway!

It'll be specific advertising, basically, so they'll advertise feminine things or masculine things, and incontinence pads for us oldies! 

  it is the most pointless thing ever!

Big brother is watching you.......

I think it is a total waste of money, i dont like girly adds i would want to see the mens ones lol

definitely is!

Never use Tesco for fuel anyway, tis very intimidating though!  

So, if I'm queuing behind a woman, I have to listen to panty pad ads.
And if a woman is queuing behind me, she has to listen to incontinence pad ads?

Not long before people are chipped at birth, and tailored virtual worlds surround them for their entire existence.

Imagine being told, on your deathbed at age 178 in the future, that your whole life was a lie and you weren't really born a penguin.  

As for tesco - my local independent garage is cheaper and more cheerful. Tesco fill-ups are a last resort.

Ps - this reminds me of when an old employer introduced finger print scanners to a) get into the building and b) get served in the canteen.

We just stood outside the front doors until the boss opened them, and brought sandwiches.

Wacky managing at its finest.
