“Digital Prison!” Grocery Chain Requires QR Code to Enter


A man visiting London went to an Aldi Shop & Go to purchase food and came across a digital hellscape that resembles a full-scale World Economic Forum takeover.

“You’re in London, you’re on a business trip, you’re staying in Greenwich and you want to buy some food. So you go into the local Aldi’s, like this one, and you think I’m going to go in here and buy some food so I can feed myself,” the man explained.

“And then you approach the barrier. And look, you can’t even get in the shop without having a QR code to scan here,” he continued.

“And then you can go in and buy things. Now, this looks to me like the beginning stages of the digital prison that we keep talking about,” he said.

“What do you think?” the man asked.

He’s exactly right. It’s the early stages of 15-minute cities to control humanity inside a totalitarian surveillance state.

An open-air prison where you need a digital ID or QR code to access basic necessities, such as grocery shopping.

Every commercial grocery store will incorporate this digital prison unless We the People resist now.

“So I’m in London overnight, and I’m trying to buy some food. I drop into the local Aldi’s, only to be told that in order to enter the store I have to download an app and scan a QR code,” a Twitter post with the video read.

“Resist this BS, Resist digital ID, Resist app-based everything, Be pro-human!” the tweet added.

WATCH:

“@AldiUK I will never set foot in one of these stores. A digital requirement to access food is a slippery slope. There are forces pushing us towards China’s social credit system which dictates where people are allowed to go & when. We had a small taste of this with vax passports,” one Twitter user replied.

Here’s a Bitchute backup:

It appears Aldi is also following Klaus Schwab’s buggy diet in the UK.

Computer Weekly wrote last year:

Aldi has opened a checkout-free store location in London as part of its ongoing testing of frictionless shopping.

The supermarket’s trial store will continue the testing already undertaken by Aldi employees over the past few months, and will allow customers to pick up the goods they need and leave the store without scanning products or going through a checkout.

Giles Hurley, CEO of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “Today is the culmination of months of work, not least from the team here in Greenwich, and I’m looking forward to seeing how customers react to our trial.

“This store utilises the very latest in retail technology offering Aldi’s award-winning products and unbeatable prices to customers in a new and innovative way. The team are really excited about seeing customers come in and experience Aldi Shop&Go.”

Customers will use the Aldi Shop&Go app on their smartphone to check in to the location via a QR code, and will then be automatically charged for the goods they have taken once they leave the shop, receiving a receipt for their visit in the app.

The technology in Aldi’s checkout-free store, developed by technology provider AiFi, uses cameras placed around the store to determine which items have been taken, or put back on shelves, so customers can be charged appropriately.
