Mark and Shane talk about some big news for the Canandaigua Wegmans. Also a new chicken place is coming to Henrietta.

Neoborn Caveman delivers a pro-humanity critique of facial recognition surveillance turning shoppers into suspects, exposing how stores like ShopRite, Wegmans, and UK chains like Sainsbury's scan faces without meaningful consent to create digital fingerprints checked against ban databases, warns of permanent data retention and sharing even on mistakes, highlights disproportionate harm to marginalized communities through error-prone tech, and calls for resistance through boycotting, legislation, and refusing normalization before infrastructure locks in total tracking linked to digital IDs and currencies.Key TakeawaysFacial scanning erodes privacy without consent.Databases turn errors into permanent records.Tech normalizes surveillance as safety.Marginalized groups face amplified harms.Corporate profit drives data collection.Resistance preserves future choices.Normalization leads to expanded control.Boycotts challenge infrastructure growth.Transparency exposes system biases.Humanity demands alternative paths.Sound Bites"Have you been paying attention to what's happening when you walk into a grocery store?""cameras mounted at the entrance are scanning your face, measuring the distance between your eyes, the shape of your nose, the contours of your jaw.""They're creating what they call your 'facial geometry'—basically a digital fingerprint of your face—and checking it against a database.""You didn't agree to this. Most people don't even know it's happening.""ShopRite stores across Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey have been doing this for years.""ShopRite keeps your facial data for 90 days if you're not flagged. If their system thinks you match someone who's been banned—even by mistake—your data gets kept permanently and shared across all their locations plus their third-party tech provider.""This isn't just ShopRite. This is becoming standard practice.""Wegmans is doing it. In the UK, Sainsbury's just expanded their facial recognition system to additional stores after what they called a 'seismic' drop in theft at their trial locations.""This is about normalization. This is about building the infrastructure. This is about getting people used to the idea that being surveilled is just part of shopping now. Just part of existing in public.""Once that's normalized, once the cameras are installed and the databases are built, the scope of what they're used for will expand. It always does."Join the tea house at patreon.com/theneoborncavemanshow—free to enter, real talk, lives, no ads, no algorithms.keywords: facial recognition surveillance, shoprite scanning, wegmans tech, sainsbury's system, digital fingerprint, data retention, privacy erosion, marginalized harms, infrastructure normalization, digital idsHumanity centered satirical takes on the world & news + music - with a marble mouthed host.Free speech marinated in comedy.Supporting Purple Rabbits.Viva los Conejos Morados.

On the latest episode of the Omnichannel Marketer, I had the pleasure of speaking with Colin Flood, VP of Marketing at Unreal Snacks. ‍Unreal Snacks is a better-for-you chocolate snack brand.‍Unreal Snacks started in convenience and drug stores (CVS, Walgreens) ten years ago and through trial and error made it to natural grocery, where it gained the traction required to get to successful in mainstream grocery and convenience..‍True to this podcast, today Unreal Snacks has omnichannel distribution. ‍Colin defines Omnichannel as the strategy of getting in front of your customers (advertising, purchase, and consumption) where they are and being presented as a solution for hunger in a way that drives growth and scale.‍For Unreal Snacks, that is the DTC website, Amazon, and 25,000 doors across natural, traditional grocery, and club stores. ‍You can find Unreal Snack products Whole Foods, Wegmans, Sprouts, Publix, and Costco.‍The keys to success on retail growth have been:‍1️⃣ The right retailer (natural) 2️⃣ Closer to or at cash registers (not the candy aisle, which people avoid)3️⃣ Part of seasonal campaign promotions (Valentine's Day, Halloween etc).4️⃣ Better for you messaging calling people back to category‍Brian describes this placement as “lower funnel,” the offline equivalent of being closer to the add to cart button. ‍Brian is excited about the new trends in digital for the grocery category.‍It's worth pointing out that Unreal chocolate can melt, so shipping is a challenge and requires ice packs in certain regions at certain times of the year.‍But he sees local delivery / in-store pickup and retail marketing platform spend as new digital levers that grocery marketers can pull to stimulate growth. ‍Thanks Colin for sharing your story and perspective.

The supermarket chain Wegmans is making headlines for testing facial recognition cameras in some of their stores "to help identify individuals who pose a risk to our people, customers, or operations." Is this practice an invasion of privacy? Some consumers are concerned about their stored facial scan being accessed if there is a hack or breach of data… How would you feel about shopping at a grocery store that uses facial recognition technology? Would that cause you to shop elsewhere? Prof. Erik Learned-Miller, Professor and Chair of the Faculty at the UMass Amherst Manning College of Information & Computer Sciences joined us to discuss this!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Core messagePersonal AI, consumer devices, and global networks are converging into a new arena where data, infrastructure, and talent are strategic assets, not just products.Policy, open-source security, and novel computing architectures provide early but meaningful counterweights to surveillance capitalism and cyber conflict.AI: privacy vs conveniencePrivacy-first AI like Moxie Marlinspike's Confer uses open-source code, end‑to‑end encryption, on‑device keys, and secure hardware to ensure user conversations cannot be read even by the service operator.​Google's Gemini-powered Gmail adds an AI Inbox, thread summaries, and writing aids that mine inbox content to generate to‑dos and answers, while promising not to use email data to train foundation models and allowing opt‑outs.​Corporate missteps and surveillance“Worst in Show” critics highlight products like over‑engineered smart fridges, Ring facial recognition, and disposable gadgets as emblematic of poor repairability, expanded surveillance, and e‑waste.Wegmans' biometric collection and Google's outreach encouraging teens to remove parental supervision show how corporate policies can quietly shift control and weaken privacy and safety norms.Tech as geopolitical battlefieldCampaigns such as China-linked “Salt Typhoon” exploit weaknesses in legacy telecom protocols like SS7, enabling interception of calls and texts from U.S. officials and potentially users worldwide.Taiwan's arrest warrant for OnePlus's CEO over alleged illegal recruitment reflects broader state-backed efforts by China to secure foreign tech talent and IP through front companies and incentive programs.Emerging safeguards and breakthroughsCalifornia's DROP platform operationalizes its Delete Act, letting residents issue one verified request that compels all registered data brokers to delete personal data and comply on a recurring schedule under penalty of fines.​Anthropic's $1.5M partnership with the Python Software Foundation strengthens security for CPython and PyPI, hardening open‑source supply chains while funding community sustainability.Sandia's neuromorphic computing results show brain‑inspired hardware can efficiently solve complex partial differential equations, hinting at future high‑performance systems that are far more energy‑efficient than today's supercomputers.

On today's show, we bring back a topic discussed in a recent program, the fact that several Wegmans locations in New York City are collecting the biometric data of customers as they shop. It is not known if this has been done at any of the Buffalo Niagara locations, because those locations are not legally required to disclose if they are, but if they were hypothetically, would it bother you? Also, we continue following the fallout from the I.C.E. involved shooting of a 37 year old woman in Minneapolis. What word or words come to mind when you see what's unfolding in Minnesota, and how I.C.E. agents have been treated, not only there, but across the country?

Supermarket chain Wegmans has made headlines this week for their use of surveillance technology on customers. But they're far from the only retailer deploying this type of tech to prevent theft — and encourage extra spending. Plus, a retired nurse shares her plans for rebuilding in Altadena.

Larry Thomas, forever immortalized as the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld's iconic episode, shares the remarkable story of how one guest appearance 21 years ago transformed into a thriving brand partnership with The Original SoupMan company. Larry explains how he reconnected with Al Yeganeh, the real soup man who inspired his character, after years of being recognized everywhere he went. The partnership became natural when innovative Tetra Carton technology allowed Al to mass-produce his exceptional soups while maintaining the fresh taste and quality ingredients he was known for, creating a perfect opportunity for Larry to become the brand's official spokesman.Larry dispels the myth of being typecast, proudly pointing to his diverse IMDB credits including recent Lifetime movies where he plays everyday American characters far removed from his Seinfeld persona. He describes his nationwide promotional tours across supermarket chains like Kroger, Safeway, Publix, and Wegmans, where he autographs soup cartons, takes photos with fans, and yes, randomly yells "No soup for you!" at delighted customers. From his appearances at the original soup stand at 55th and 8th Avenue in New York to stores throughout Michigan, Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and beyond, Larry's enthusiasm for the product is genuine—he truly believes it's the best soup in any supermarket and loves sharing it with fans who remember his unforgettable Seinfeld moment.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (01/06/2025): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump delivered remarks from a House Republican retreat in Washington D.C. where he spoke about the successful capture of Venezuelan authoritarian Nicolas Maduro. On Monday, Maduro appeared in a New York court where he pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking charges. According to the New York Times, it will likely be more than a year before a jury is seated to weigh the evidence presented against him. 3:15pm- Democrat Hypocrisy: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned the Trump administration's actions in Venezuela. But in 2020 Schumer publicly criticized President Trump for not putting an end to Maduro's leadership. Meanwhile, in 2019 Senator Chris Murphy wrote and op-ed calling for regime change in Venezuela—however, he now opposes regime change! 3:30pm- Rich's BIG announcement: Beginning next week, The Rich Zeoli Show will take on a new form! The show will become a one-hour, nationally focused podcast which can be heard locally on 1210 WPHT from 6pm to 7pm! 3:45pm- The grocery store chain Wegmans has adopted biometrics which “collects, retains, converts, stores or shares customers' biometric identifier information.” The information includes facial recognition, eye scans, and voiceprints. 4:05pm- While speaking at a House Republican retreat in Washington D.C., President Donald Trump warned that if the GOP doesn't win the 2026 midterms, Democrats will create a reason to impeach him. 4:15pm- Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he will no longer seek election for a third term. His announcement comes after Minnesota, under his leadership, misappropriated billions-of-dollars to fraudulent welfare claims. When asked why he was dropping out of the race, Walz quickly pivoted—noting that today is the five-year anniversary of the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol. 4:20pm- On Tuesday, Democrats held a meeting to mark the fifth anniversary of Jan. 6. During the meeting, Rep. Nancy Pelosi said: “That president who incited that insurrection, continues to lie about what happened...he was claiming that we did not ask for the National Guard...for over three hours we begged him.” But in a video, taken the day of the riot, then Speaker of the House Pelosi conceded that it was her fault the National Guard wasn't ready: "I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more." 4:30pm- A Minneapolis Hilton hotel canceled numerous room reservations after learning the guests were members of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Hilton Hotels released a statement: "The independent hotel owner had assured us that they had fixed this problem and published a message confirming this. A recent video clearly raises concerns that they are not meeting our standards and values. As such, we are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems. Hilton is—and has always been—a welcoming place for all.” 4:45pm- On Monday, ultra-progressive Larry Krasner was sworn in for a third term as Philadelphia District Attorney.

Erie County Legislator Frank Todaro joins the show to discuss several Wegmans locations in New York City tracking shopper's biometric identifier information, where he stands on it, some of the legalities surrounding it, and we take many of your phone calls in what turns into an impromptu town hall on the matter.

Recently, some signs popped up at several Wegmans locations in New York City, alerting shoppers of the fact their biometric identifier data would be collected while inside the store. While this has not been done at any of the Buffalo Niagara locations (or at least, it hasn't been disclosed yet), this still doesn't sit well with some area shoppers. What are your thoughts on this, would you care if the Buffalo Niagara locations began doing this? To help explore this issue, we spoke with cybersecurity expert Arun Vishwanath and Erie County Legislator Frank Todaro.

Recently, a few signs popped up in some New York City Wegmans alerting shoppers that their personally-identifying biometric data would be collected while they shop at those locations. Cybersecurity expert Arun Vishwanath joins the show to provide more insight on this, what exactly is biometric data, what can it be used for, and more.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the turbulent political landscape and the looming midterm elections, setting the stage with commentary on President Biden and the many competing national storylines. But just as listeners expect a deep dive into politics, Brett pivots dramatically to what he calls a personal, earth-shattering revelation. With escalating suspense and tongue-in-cheek outrage, he reveals the “betrayal” that has shaken him to his core: a lawsuit claiming McDonald’s McRib contains no actual rib meat. We’re joined by Phil Kerpen from American Commitment to talk about the state of the U.S. economy and the looming policy battles over health care, government spending, and entitlement fraud. Phil breaks down why consumer spending remained strong through the holidays and why economic growth in 2025 far exceeded expert predictions, pushing back on forecasts of a slowdown in 2026. He argues that pro-growth tax policy and regulatory restraint are setting the stage for continued expansion. Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday’s episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the growing controversy surrounding the Mount Verg County sheriff and the serious allegations now drawing attention from state lawmakers and the community. Beth offers insight into Representative Carla Cunningham’s role in pushing for accountability, the concerns raised about leadership, and why the story resonates so strongly—especially when it comes to respect, professionalism, and public trust in law enforcement. Beth also shares what viewers can expect next on Good Morning BT, including an in-depth conversation with Representative Cunningham to unpack her perspective and explain why she signed onto the petition calling for action. In addition, she previews an upcoming segment with cybersecurity expert Teresa Payton, focusing on a developing Wegmans-related security and biometrics issue that is likely to spark listener reaction. It’s a wide-ranging discussion that blends local accountability, leadership questions, and must-watch previews for the days ahead on Good Morning BT.

Yo, what's good, packaging people? Adam Peek here, and you know how we roll—we're diving deep into the real talk behind building a brand. On this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Jack McNamara and Yash Banthia, the co-founders of Tru Energy Drinks. These guys aren't just making a great-tasting, better-for-you beverage; they're building a brand with a purpose, and their story is a masterclass in hustle and smart business decisions.From the Dungeon to DrinkTru.comJack and Yash's journey is the kind of scrappy startup story you love to hear. We're talking about a a literal dungeon—the basement of a Jiu-Jitsu gym—and a mindset of relentless improvement. We got into the nitty-gritty of their brand's evolution, from the early days of a crazy-expensive, custom-designed shot bottle that customers didn't even understand, to their current sleek, pre-printed cans. It's a prime example of why you can't be afraid to kill your darlings and embrace change, even if it means moving away from your original, most "creative" idea.The Power of Packaging EvolutionThis is where the real value bombs were dropped. We broke down:* The Cost of Creativity: Why a custom-molded bottle wasn't the right move for them early on, and how tooling costs can crush a new brand's cash flow.* The Sprint to Scale: The massive leap from a small, local co-packer to a national one, and the significant 35% savings they unlocked by switching from shrink sleeves to pre-printed cans. This is a crucial lesson in understanding your supply chain and the economies of scale.* Reading the Room (and the Shelf): How a simple redesign, like moving the brand name to the top and adding a clear flavor stripe, can make all the difference in a competitive retail environment. We talked about consumer behavior and why you've got two seconds to communicate what your product is.Products with a PurposeOne of the coolest things about Tru is their commitment to giving back. I had to call them out for not leading with their charitable contributions—they're just out there doing good because it's the right thing to do. We discussed their partnership with the Trevor Project and how building a brand with a strong mission, even when you're not yet profitable, can be a huge motivator for the team.Big shout-out to Jack and Yash for their time and their transparency. If you're out there building a CPG brand, trying to figure out your packaging, or just need a dose of entrepreneurial inspiration, this episode is for you.Check out Tru's full product line at drinktru.com and grab a can or a powder pack to fuel your next big idea. Don't forget to look for them at stores like Market Basket, Wegmans, and H-E-B.And hey, if you're ever in Salt Lake City, hit up Harmons and tell 'em Adam sent you!

In this episode of "Church Planting," the speaker delves into the foundational principles and motivations for starting new churches. The central theme revolves around reliance on divine guidance, as captured by Psalm 127:1, emphasizing that unless the Lord builds the house, labor is in vain. The speaker reinforces the need for absolute confidence in Jesus to build the church, highlighting that human effort alone is insufficient without divine support. The discussion transitions to the "why" of church planting, rooted in addressing the lostness of people akin to sheep without a shepherd. This point is emphasized with personal anecdotes, such as observing aimless shoppers at Wegmans and Vince Antonucci's transformation from a non-Christian skeptic to a passionate church planter motivated by his previous lostness. The speaker also acknowledges the significant challenges faced in church planting, such as feelings of unfruitfulness, betrayal, and scarcity of resources. He cites the importance of resilience and God's calling to reach lost people as the sustaining force during tough times. The narrative shifts to historical insights from the Book of Acts, illustrating the explosive growth of the early church through continuous discipleship and church planting, moving from addition to multiplication. The episode then explores the critical aspects of ensuring the health and doctrinal soundness of new churches. The speaker warns against the dangers of doctrinal drift and the potential for churches to adopt popular but unbiblical stances. This concern leads into a detailed explanation of the Renew Movement's approach to church planting, emphasizing sound theology, disciple-making, and structured support systems like assessment, training, and coaching. The Renew Movement aims to catalyze a church planting movement of healthy churches, overcoming common fears such as scarcity of resources, lack of expertise, and long-term health. The discussion underscores the importance of ordinary churches becoming church planting churches, challenging the notion that only large, resource-rich congregations can plant churches. The Renew Movement's unique strategy involves collaborative partnerships among churches—both large and small—to support new plants. This model includes financial contributions, shared leadership, and hands-on involvement, fostering a sense of ownership and vision among all participating congregations. The goal is to create a sustainable cycle of churches planting churches, reaching lost people, and expanding God's kingdom. In conclusion, the episode emphasizes the need for a shift from church growth to kingdom growth, highlighting the importance of surrender to Jesus' lordship and genuine discipleship. The speaker calls for a collective effort among churches to embrace the mission of church planting, ensuring doctrinal soundness and long-term health to effectively expand the kingdom of God. The session ends with a prayer, reaffirming the commitment to follow Jesus' guidance in building His church.

Did you know that despite the changing workplace dynamics and technological advancements, many leaders still adhere to outdated "command and control" models?In this episode of Paradigm Shifting Books, hosts Stephen and Britain Covey sit down once again with their father, Stephen M. R. Covey, to dive into his book Trust and Inspire. They explore why so many leaders are still stuck in an outdated “command and control” model, even though the world, the workforce, and the nature of collaboration have changed dramatically.Stephen explains the origins of the Trust and Inspire framework, rooted in his work with The Speed of Trust and inspired by lessons from his father, Stephen R. Covey. He shares the core leadership paradigm shifts that move organizations from micromanaging to unleashing the greatness already inside their people.The conversation tackles common misconceptions, like the idea that Trust and Inspire is “soft” or unrealistic in high-pressure industries. With real-world examples from football coaching, Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, retail standouts like Wegmans, and even the military, Stephen shows that this leadership style delivers results without sacrificing accountability.One of the big takeaways: leadership isn't just about getting results, it's about growing people, building trust, and inspiring them to give their very best. And that's not just idealistic; it's a competitive advantage.What We Discuss[00:17] Introduction[02:04] Origins of Trust and Inspire[05:53] Key leadership paradigm shifts[12:02] What Trust and Inspire is and isn't[15:35] Strong leadership without micromanaging[20:09] Authenticity in leadership styles[22:00] Global response to Trust and Inspire[24:31] From idealism to practical application[29:45] Thriving cultures and unleashing greatnessNotable Quotes[13:35] “Trust and Inspire is a style of leadership that gets results in a way that grows people and inspires trust.” — Stephen M.

Covey[20:10] “The key thing is I see the greatness inside of people. I try to unleash it, but that might include being demanding.” — Stephen M. R.
