Should restaurants have CCTV cameras e.g. McDonalds?

Question

I don't like the Idea of people watching you when you eat

Answer 1

Closed circuit television cameras are normally used only for stores with higher than average crime. This running record is to document any illegal activities, like robbery, assault, or even drug deals.

It is their establishment and THEY have the right to record you if THEY see fit. If you don't like it, get your food to go.

Answer 2

They are not using the cameras to watch you when you eat!!  They are interested in keeping their restaurant safe and their employees honest.

Answer 3

The cameras are not there to watch people as they eat.

They are there in case something happens for example

if someone came to hold up McDonalds and it is to help get a clearer picture on the suspects.

Also if someone is hand out counter fit bill you can determine what they look like.

So it helps out the police if a case is ever brought up.

Also it is to make sure employees aren't stealing things from the store.

Answer 4

While it may sound kind of creepy, usually no one actually looks at the video unless something bad has happened.
