I already do this with 99% of my purchases. I almost solely purchase through credit card, which is a contractual obligation that my clearly identified person will allow a financial institution to pay for this coffee on my behalf, on promise I will pay that institution back at a later time.
I fully expect that institution to carry a full record of my purchases, and these days I expect them to share some subset of that data with whoever they see fit. It's just the world we live in.
I never carry cash with me, except for the rare occasions I know I'll be going to a cashless enterprise, which is becoming exceedingly rare where I live.
- simplify 9y agoNot entirely equivalent, since the coffee shop does not receive your purchase history.
