Comment They track our snacks (Score 1) 172

A year ago my employer went from ubiquitous, anonymous vending machines to a slick, new vending system with user accounts, barcode readers and - no kidding - thumbprint logins. Obviously they are tracking what each employee is consuming. Since we did not sign anything about how they use the data, I inquired. The HR dept never quite answered the question, but did reveal that the system has the option of offering advice when you make your selection. "Perhaps you'd like a healthy apple instead of that Twix bar, Tom" ... I am assuming that in addition to selling our consuming data, they will one day price our benefits based on how healthily we are snacking.
