Wisconsin Employees Agree to Have Microchips Implanted: For Real

This is for real: a Wisconsin-based company, Three Square Market, has offered its employees to have a tiny microchip implanted into their hands.

It’s actually a small radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip. Cost:$300.

So what does it do? It allows employees to open doors, log in to computers and even buy snacks and lunch. How convenient.

While the program is not mandatory, about 50 out of 80 employees at the company’s headquarters have volunteered for it.

Making it even more remarkable (translation: “strange”) employees will be chipped at an inaugural “chip party” hosted at the company’s headquarters in River Falls, WI on August 1, 2017.
