In order to sell food over a distance e.g. internet, Tesco must follow the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling)

Choices of Technology

Why does Tesco use heat sensor technology instead of cameras to tell if the queue is too big.

Heat Sensor                                                                                                         CCTV Camera

 

•        Expensive
•        A camera means someone has to monitor it when it is in  operation
•        A camera is a far more expensive method to resolve a simple problem
