Anything that only works if the STORE installs something will fail.  If the store wants to help, fine, but the system must work even if the store is actively resisting.   
Anything that only works if the STORE installs something will fail.  If the store wants to help, fine, but the system must work even if the store is actively resisting.  That is, activists must be able to enter the store, match up UPC codes they scan in with names of products, quickly and efficiently, to log the whole store, identify the worst products... and rate the whole store as to moral [[goodness]]... using the community's concept of what sources or ratings are trusted in [[TCE]].


:When looking at the planned [[features]] you may notice that quite a few of them require that the store is willing to participate in providing the service. Also the store misses out on a few things (like the [[Advertisement Video]]s and any [[feedback]] the [[consumer]]s feel free to make visible to the retailer) if it does not participate, but there should always be the possibility to access most of the features over GPRS or WiFi or whatever is available connections
It is not worth doing if the retailer must install junk before the whole thing works.  Some will, and will attract moral buyers, but some won't, and it's quite important that people be just as able to use the system when they are buying in an unfriendly store as in a friendly one.
