And who thought the idea of a GlassHole was bad? You have a big spy-eye on your shirt. Just wait till some company mandates all employees must wear this.

If you can gesture and it does something, the camera is always on watching for the gesture.

European Friend, What would GPDR say about this? If you walked into some store and all the store employees wore this, could you ask and expect that any footage showing you visited the store would be deleted?

Might also be kinda creepy if you went into a store where you had never been before and the nearest sales associate walked up and said "Welcome In WasPentalive".

The level of survailence of a callcenter brought to retail

One of the worst things about callcenters was the constant survailence they knew everything you were doing at all times. Retail would absolutely abuse this in the same way.

oh, silly me, I was only thinking about the surveillance of the store's patrons. Yes being constantly on camera can go two ways - either it will slowly drive you insane, or you forget the cameras are there and those who monitor could mischaracterized what they see.

Yea they probably won't let you forget that your being monitored management constantly reminded us.

Every callcenter I've worked at tried to prevent workers from using the restroom.

Not allowed to take a litteral minute to breath after the call is over if you do they know and they will harrass you for it. Back to back calls all day.

Woried that they will pull a call where you made a mistake and count it against you.

Everything you do has numbers and stats they can look at.

Well stores are already watched by security camera so if you walk in it you are already seen from all angles

In my opinion sometimes the kind of camera makes a difference.
Like is it the security camera, or the advertisement ridden touchscreen map that conveniently watches the entire entrance with it's front camera?

Yes, they may use the security camera for that purpose too, and that is also a problem, but these others do seem to be worse.
