I forgot to mention a truly creepy compliment the other day

The day after Christmas I was working on putting away our truck order at the store when my co-worker answered the phone. The woman identified herself as with our corporate security. They'd been monitoring our cameras for a couple of hours and wanted to compliment us on how diligently we had been working and how attentive we were to our customers. At one point she told him there was someone behind him and he should go ahead and wait on the person. It was nice in terms of what they said, and in theory I knew the DVR was monitored, but it was kind of creepy to have confirmation.

How would you like to be the person who watches store video all day?

Um...scary Orwellian tactics

SIN BINS FOR WORST FAMILIES
The Children’s Secretary set out £400 million plans to put 20,000 problem families under 24-hour CCTV super-vision in their own homes.

They will be monitored to ensure that children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals.

Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction.

Around 2,000 families have gone through these Family Intervention Projects so far.

Britain To Put CCTV Cameras Inside Private Homes

Why would anyone think this is a GOOD IDEA????
