'They have no idea what’s coming': Woman marvels over paying for groceries with wave of hand

Amazon recently announced all Whole Foods Market locations will begin using its “palm recognition technology” as a means of payment — the online retail behemoth acquired Whole Foods in 2017 for $13.7 billion.

There’s little doubt that many consumers love the ease of simply waving their palms over a scanner, as seen in a video making the rounds online. But, where one person sees convenience another person sees the potential for a more nefarious outcome — after all, as our founders established long ago government is inherently evil.

“These people go through life delusional. They have no idea what’s coming…,” Twitter account Censored Men posted, along with the footage.

Either way, palm recognition technology is here to stay, it seems.
