is offering its workers a chance to toss their employee i.d. card and forget all those pass words. in exchange they'll insert a tiny microchip under the skin. would you do it? that's today's cover story, "chipping in." it wasn't a traditional office party. last week in wisconsin, three square market offered to microchip its employees. >> all right, you're officially chipped. >> more than half of the 80 workers voluntarily agreed to >> it's not bad. >> they each let the company insert a $300 microchip the size s where it was inserted into ta right there. i got mine done yesterday. and i was scared to death. i thought it was going to hurt like crazy and it was nothing. >> the device door access for employees to enter the building, sign into their computer and pay for snacks. it replaces passwords, i.d. badges and credit cards. >> right now literally, you

don't need anything in your pocket. hand if you really want. >> not everyone wants to. some holdouts refuse to be chipped. >> i still haven't seen a lot of research on long-term health effects and it kind of freaks me out a little bit. there's a foreign object going into your body. >> todd westby is the three square market ceo. this is a really idea. why did your company decide to do it? >> well, if you're a technology company, things like this are actually exciting. we don't look at it as being too weird. but when the pp presented itself, we initially decided to do it just because we thought it was, i don't know, i guess you could say cool, something different. .e never expected honestly what we didn't expect it to go like it did with all the media excitement and everything. we were just looking at it from a technology standpoint initially. >> yeah. i mean, it certainly caught my

attention when you all did this. more than half your employees decided to go ahead and get implanted with the chip. what about the people who di >> well, i think they did it mainly because they were informed and told exactly what it can do and can't do and what it does do and doesn't the deci themselves that the people that did decide to do it really were looking forward to a lot of the conveniences that it does bring to the everyday life. >> you' got a microchip in your hand. you did decide to go ahead with it. did it hurt? how does it feel? and what's it been like using it. >> ithem i have one in each hand right here. i guess being a technology company, one is for test and one is for production. >> what does that mean? one is for test and one is production? >> anytime you develop technology, you've always got s. i use the one in my right hand for beta purposes. and this other one is for production, but as far as it

hurting, it feels like basically somebody stepping on your pinkie toe with a dress shoe on. it really doesn't hurt at all. >> does it feel like that all the time or when you first get it put in? can you tell it's still there? >> just initially when they put it in. it takes about two to three seconds to do. that night if you ice it, pretty much the next morning you don't realize it's there. >> that sounds like a whole lot of things that would make me three times about going and doing this. what happens to the chip if someone leaves the company. do you take it out? whose property is it? >> it was never designed to be our property. we decided to put it in the employees as a form of convenience for them. when employees leave, we actually consider it an employee retention tool. we do not plan on taking it out. it's up to the employee. >> an employee retention policy because we're not going to take it out. it's going to stay there forever so we're going to keep you? >> well, not that sense, b real

chip in your hand with all the things it can do. especially using it as a credit card form of payment at any convenience store or any store.t have a gps in it, but when i first heard about this, my first thought was wait a minute, this is a way for the man to find out when i'm coming to work and when i'm leaving. could you use it with those capabilities? > this particular chip, no. chip that will be able to use as a gps device. and, you know, when it's talked about big brother, big sister, you would not believe since this chip came out all of the interest there is with a gps chip for children and so forth. >> all right. we will continue to watc todd, thank you very much for your time today. we a >> thank you. now here's a look at what's making news as we head into a new week "on the money." the stock market had its worst day since may on thursday.
