@voodoo i can honestly say i have never scanned at Coles. I didn't even know i was supposed to?
Well there you go! There used to be big signs at this Coles, along with staff at the entrance making sure you did sign in. They've ditched the staff and shrunk the sign to 10% of its size 🤷♂️
Apathy
no i don't think that's accurate when you compare the check-in procedures in other parts of daily life

Apathy on the part of the supermarket? Our supermarkets used to have a staff member at the door but haven't for ages. The scan sign is near the front door but not that prominent

May be a Vic or NSW thing?. Never done it either.

I have a theory that people scan at small businesses out of respect for the owners and fellow locals, not wanting them to get them into or cause trouble. But big businesses, they don't really care about. Department stores, food chains etc.
I dont think people are really scanning to help the tracking process
-
I scan more at the bigger shops as that is where I reckon I'd likely pick it up (although I am back to scanning at every shop, although doing plenty of manual ones when you jump out of car run into a shop to grab something without phone.

Perth have ramped up their testing and found
0 new cases

Probably should extend lockdown another 5 days to increase the chances of finding another case?

In terms of signing in 99.9999% of any transaction I make is by eftpos (can't remember when I last paid cash for anything).
Surely that's just as traceable.
It certainly is.
There may be the personal privacy thing though?

@voodoo What's the contact tracing like in WA/Australia? Going into lockdown with only one case in the community seems over-the-top, unless they have contact tracing issues and expect community transmission.
Can't speak for WA, its like a different country. But NSW got on top of the recent outbreak here over Xmas with a decent job of tracing. That peaked at
c. 20 cases in a day IIRC, with 150 total cases, so much higher. And it was gone in 2 weeks.**That said, I reckon people are now VERY lax about scanning
**
WA is a strange place, a country unto itself. Maybe they already know this guy was super active, or maybe its a massive overeaction. I'm guessing the latter.I haven't come across this on this side of the Harbour, scanning is still happening in all cafes, restaurants, bars etc etc. Although I did notice that outdoor markets codes are not so prominent after the easing of restrictions over the weekend.
Just ducked up to my local Stocklands to grab some stuff for dinner. Thought I'd spend 5 minutes testing my assertion.
I just watched 15 people in a row go into Coles without scanning . In fact, I haven't yet seen a single person.
And its hardly a surprise its not front of mind anymore, I mean look at the placement at the entrance:
TBH, I wasn't including supermarkets in still happening over here. For the most part supermarkets haven't had them outside maybe two periods.

Mate, I just dont think people are worried anymore. We haven't had significant cases in yanks. When we had an outbreak, it was shut down and contained asap. And we have zero people in hospitals.
People are just done with it

Weird that is the case over your way considering you've had a more recent outbreak - as most places over this side are still pretty insistent on it being done.

Small shops are still. But I also don't think they're concerned. They just don't want to be fined. They all complain about wearing masks.
Even during the "outbreak", shops were still fucking busy around here. Apparently "essential" shopping includes Bunnings, all of Warringah Mall, the supermarket every day.
Just over it.

I'd rather eat the packaging than the chicken from KFC.
Should be sued for misrepresentation. Always smells so good and tastes shit.
Seldom eat it - only if had a few and its the only thing open and always regret it within an hour of eating it. The grease does dreadful things to my gut - internally and externally.
KFC is fucking fantastic. I could eat a bucket, no problems. Yeah, I'd feel like shit afterwards, but I often feel like shit after drinking 10 beers too, so their is a first parallel!
Rarely eat it as it's so damn bad for you and the chicken they use is certainly not free range, but every now and again it perfectly hits the spot.
Hands up, unashamed KFC fan.

People are just done with itI don't sign in. It's simply a non-event for us. If I lived somewhere else surrounded by filthy disease ridden peasants it would very likely be a different story.
Ultimately it's not laziness, but I am concerned about handing information out to marketing companies, randoms who aren't abiding by the NPPs etc.
