When I used to work at McDonald's they required a fingerprint to clock in and out. They then apparently sold everyone's biometric data. I got some kind of settlement thing but it was like $20 or something. So that was nice... I guess

If the class action I found online is the same one. My old shitty job tried to implement biometrics and dropped it around the time of that class action. What a coincidence. So thanks?

You're welcome. I am glad to lose my fingerprint data for assistance of a friend

Sweet, now you can buy a big mac or a happy meal! Not both though...
