So, they basically treated people like low-level employees at a call center in the US?
This sort of thing isn't actually new. Those cameras in retail stores are, first and foremost, used to track employee theft - including theft of company time spent talking to other employees. Are you a call center employee that has to go poop often that day or are 3 minutes late from break? Expect a call from HR for the bathroom breaks and an attendance issue for the tardiness.
I'm guessing if this were in the US and put in place for low-level employees, it would have never been scrapped.
