Apparently, Bunnings have my face on-file. I don't think I like that.

It's only 63 stores though. Not all of them

It is now rolled out to all Bunnings stores. So now when you steal something they don't apprehend you, they store the footage and once you steal enough to get the cops involved they dump all that footage on the cops desk. People think they get away with stealing, time says otherwise.

I'm sorry, but this is about facial recognition, not an AI that can figure out if someone is shoplifting? They don't pay someone to sift through all that footage and note down when someone is actually stealing, that just doesn't happen. Let alone that the cameras don't have full coverage of the store. So your statement is just not accurate.

So I worked at Bunnings and you're right and wrong.

I have never worked at bunnings, and you're also right and wrong.

So what do you think they are doing with the data?
