The stores would have to deploy special-purpose IR cameras to collect the kind of data FaceID uses. And even with that data it’s unclear how it could be used to present a false image to a phone. The hacker pulling this off would also need physical access to your phone.
From a security perspective it would be a lot easier to collect a fingerprint and use known methods to create a false fingerprint that a phone would recognize.
So if you’re worried about this kind of thing, FaceID is preferable.
