Have you ever been at a customers location and have them request that you provide biometric data to enter their facility?
I was picking up at an auto parts warehouse today and when I walked into their building they wanted to take a photo of me, take my thumbprint and make a copy of my drivers license before I could pick up my freight. When I told the girl working at the desk that I would be happy to sign into a log book, but that I would not allow them to finger print me she went and got a manager, who tried to tell me that they had already approved this new policy through FedEx. I asked him what he did with my biometric data and he just looked at me with a dumb look on his face until I explained what biometric data was, he tried to tell me that they "just store in on their hard drives."
After 10 minuets of back and forth with the shipping manager he relented when I told him that if he did not let me pick up the freight, without being finger printed that I would leave it behind.
Has anybody else had to deal with customers wanting to do something like this?
