Now that RFID tags are a measly .005 x .005 inches and is 7.5 micrometers thick. A host of new tagging options are available. Gone will be the day when you ask for a check at the end of a meal at the restaurant. Simply order what you want, eat and get scanned at the cash register on the way out. Mixed in with the pepper on your hot dog will be a few grains of hot dog identifying RFID tags. As an added benefit, restaurants will not have to worry about the dreaded dine and dash. Dashers will be met by an electronically locked door when a scanner by the door recognizes that unpaid RFIDs are attempting to leave the premises.

The greedy globalist corporations will go to no lengths
to maximize profits at the expense of anyone and everyone!
Including tracking and tracing even our colons…..
(Food for thought? Was It the right-hand of the hotdog
or the forehead of the hotdog they’ll be tagging next?)

i say, let dine and dashers eat, and leave, feeling oh so confident UNTIL billions of nano bots are released into their intestents and colon causing a very embarrasing walk home

Only problem with this idea is that first the “chips” would have to be able to withstand a bath of HCL in the stomach and not decompose into toxic elements.
Second, what happens if there is an emergency and people have to evacuate the building without stopping to pay their bill??

Hey Eric, sounds like we think the same 🙂
Terry, that might give people an incentive to pre-pay. I feel a new business model coming on…

And of course, no one would EVER think of sprinking extra chips in food here and there to confuse the issue and shut the system down. Nor would a scanner EVER fail and leave customers stuck, or the seller SOL.

Get an RFID zapper and kill the tags inside your stomach. Ouch.

There are just a few problem with this theory.
1) Who puts pepper on hotdogs?
2) What if TWO rfid-pepper-specs land on your hotdog? They charge you twice?
3) You’d need one heck of a powerful active RFID antenna at the door to be able to detect these things.
So, IMHO, it’s NOT happening anytime soon.

True,
It probably won’t happen soon, I can see this happening for checkout stands for quick auto checkout with no barcode scanning.
