British supermarkets are implementing a new surveillance project where cameras at checkouts transmit live feeds to a central command center for age verification of alcohol purchases. This proactive monitoring is intended to streamline the process for underage cashiers who cannot legally authorize booze sales. Additionally, a trend in the UK tea market toward fruity and flavored varieties, such as vanilla Earl Grey, is noted.
