The supermarket giant Tesco is examining facial recognition technology that could help it recognise high-value shoppers and shoplifters, according to NEC.

NEC senior marketing coordinator George Gimenez told ZDNet UK at the Unified Communications (UC) Expo 2011 in London that Tesco is interested in the technology, called Neoface, because it could help the company identify its top customers as they walk into a branch. Once recognised, those customers would then be offered a personal shopper, he said.

Tesco is also keen on using Neoface to make sure that shoplifters banned from one store would be quickly identified and ejected when they visit another branch, Gimenez suggested.

Tesco had not provided comment on its plans to use facial recognition technology at the time of writing.

Just had my online shop delivered and handed over my voucher and the guy says "Oh, I havent had one of these before, you dont give it to me you scan it on your computer" err ... I don't have a scanner on my computer?? He was totally confused, I kept telling him to take it with him back to the store but he really didnt want to, kept saying he'd probably lose it :eek: In the end he agreed to take it but wrote down my order number, name and address on it, gave me head offices phone number and the stores number to call in case he got it wrong, asked me to call the store later to check it was all ok, bless him he was really flummoxed, to the point that I was then getting confused, but can someone please confirm that I did the right thing and he should have taken it with him back to the store??

yes that is the best thing. My driver DID lose my one and cs said he should have signed the new receipt to say he had received it. They did get it sorted but it wasn't without a few calls.

I was there (maryhill) yesterday and today. No issue with the voucher on both transactions... Was an issue with alcohol though! So much so that we went all the way home and got passports, just so we could buy 2 free bottles. So angry seriously i think this is a real issue of discrimination. 2 26yo, teacher and doc try to buy a bot of wine in the evening! Livid! Silverburn twice... no issues.

Hi

Has anyone used a voucher at GLASGOW ST ENOCH? Its a metro, our local Tesco is a metro and accepts them. My wife had trouble last night at the store where the trout asked for her name and address and written it on the coupon! Still used the coupon and got a £20 dtd coupn today from last nights shop!Trout even said to wife how does this work? as our prices are the same as Asda! Do your research Trout!
