Good, I’d rather not have you in my bar if your behavior is such that you’re worried about not being able to get in my bar.
Except now the bars can easily sell my data to corps without my goddamn permission. It isn't about having things to hide. It's about resonable privacy. According to the article, the company can track VIPs and "big spenders" and treat them differently. They can also deny you entry on "potential" risks. I wonder what systems they use to determine a denial of entry.
It's all self-reported. For example, if they don't like how much you tipped, they can flag you. It's all subjective.
I stopped drinking years ago, even then I just bought my own and maybe shared with friends.
Can't wait to get banned from the queer bar in my neighborhood after the bartender I buy whiskey from on my business trip to Kentucky flags my faggot ass as a major disruption because they think I'm a child-grooming Satanist.
You may not have read that right. I don't think they are saying that it's their behavior that is the reason that they won't enter, it's the fact that you are using a partner that makes digital copies and photographs patrons. It's a huge invasion of privacy. It's one thing for security cameras, it's a whole different level to also be copying ID's AND then also sharing that information to parties outside the establishment.
