    Okay but why on earth would we need to collect sensitive biometric data for that?

    What’s wrong with your name on the card and showing your ID? That’s how worker discounts already work at Loblaws.

    You’re adding a massive security risk for no added benefit. This is the kind of thing I would expect Galen Weston himself to suggest, right after he purchases a controlling share in the fingerprint reader company.

      The thought was that you can’t be mugged of your biometric data. People that live on the streets get a lot of stuff stolen from them.

      Also I meant to indicate that fingerprints would be opt in.
