Recently a large number of German companies, including Aldi, Plus, and Penny, have come under fire for spying on their staff using methods reminiscient of the GDR.

QUOTE
The allegations were made by Germany's Stern magazine which said it had collected page-long "intelligence" reports about staff at stores and supermarkets throughout the country, compiled by detectives at the behest of senior management.

Some of the reports on staff are quite, uh, interesting.

QUOTE
"Mrs Z is a jack of all trades according to her record. She worked as a secretary for the KGB. She is married for the second time to a man who is 11 years her junior and who is the son of her former class teacher. He has a badly slipped disc."

or the dodgy boozehound Mr W who will "wash away his frustration with a bottle of Scotch tonight."

Touching how some companies care for the welfare of their employees.

I have experience with the leading "discounter", and am 100% certain that staff are NOT spied upon.
There is however a timer built into the cash till, so that ability to cash up quickly can be monitored, so please don“t get too annoyed if you find your shopping landing somewhat rapidly back in your shopping trolley!!
