I see what you are saying but I would rather have good managers who know what is best for both the customers and employees.

As a potential customer I also have big issues with the privacy aspects of this.

Good managers are themselves a limited resource - I suspect that quite soon, the sort of manager who's better than a state-of-the-art AI system will be too valuable to assign to a coffee shop.

I figure that they already track all the customers who pay with a credit card.
