Tesco, the largest supermarket chain in the United Kingdom, is planning to implement biometric payment options in their stores, which would include palm readers and facial scanners.

But it is rumored that the chain just might outright remove or greatly limit customer’s use of cash in the stores.

Charged: Retail Tech News says, ‘Some reports have said that the move will see the UK’s largest supermarket moving away from cash and card payments, with others suggesting they will no longer be accepted at all. Many consumers are apprehensive about the technology, seeing it as one step closer to a cashless society.’

The chain already offers an app called Tesco Pay+, that allows customers to pay with groceries with a fingerprint of facial scan. The app tracks user’s spending habits, pay the bill remotely, and collect in-store points.

Moreover, Tesco recently partnered with Onfido – a photo-based identification and artificial intelligence company – to provide a smoother and more secure application process for Clubcard Pay+ customers.

In a recent tweet one Tesco customer claimed,

I’ve just had an interesting conversation with a staff member at Tesco who has confirmed that Tesco will be implementing biometric payments (face & palms) by early next year. They will no longer be accepting cash or cards.

I don’t usually shop in there. That’s just reinforced my decision to never step foot in the place again.

Mastercard Releases New Biometric Payment Option ‘Smile To Pay’


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 13:16-18

Once again we see another leap closer towards the mark of the beast, as The WP has been reporting that more and more large chains are implementing and enforcing the issue of going biometric. And yet the masses have zero clue what is transpiring right in front of their faces.


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
