Coffee machine camera irks Amazon warehouse employees
February 22, 2024
Workers at an Amazon warehouse in Maple Grove, Minnesota, have complained about a camera in a coffee machine operated by Canteen. The employees felt the camera intruded on their privacy, according to a Sahan Journal report.
A button on the machine's touchscreen under the heading "gallery" allowed the employees to see photos of the breakroom which they assumed were taken by the camera.
A tape has since been placed over the camera and Amazon is now waiting for a coffee machine without a camera or one with a disabled camera, according to a spokesperson.
The spokesperson said the camera allows people to buy coffee with a card and a malfunction caused the camera to take pictures.
Canteen had not responded to requests for comment at the time of this report to either the Sahan Journal or Vending Times.
