I cancel the bet.
I don't understand what drives people to behave like this.
Apparently the Aldi @ Marion was stormed a couple of weeks ago where every patron was stopped and checked to see if they had "checked in", the store allegedly copped a $5K fine and those that hadn't checked in copped a $1K fine each.
This info was passed on by the bean counter at my mum's work.
Yep, same thing happened up at the Belair Hotel.
Coppers nabbed 30 odd customers for not checking in - all got fined.
And if any of them are smart enough to take it to court it will be thrown out.
Its not a law to sign in, its a breach of the privacy act to expect people to sign in. It is only compulsory for a place of business to have the QR code, you dont have to use it, simple.
And wedgie and his place of employment could be sued for discrimination if what he has described is true.
Still have not signed in anywhere. Have been asked a few times if ive signed in and i just say na, im good thanks, nobody has argued.
More people need to stand up to this bullshit tyranny.
