The Surveillance Store
from the Hi.-I’m-Big-Brother.-Do-you-need-help-with-anything? dept.
From the L.A. Times comes a story of the Once Famous boutique, where shoppers get to browse an eclectic selection of tony merchandise, while hidden cameras, microphones, and one-way mirrors are used to track their every comment and gesture. There’s a sign at the entrance that informs shoppers that they are actually market-research guinea pigs, but most don’t bother to read it. Kinda creepy.
