No they aren't. I buy my food (and everything else) with cash.
When my local grocer jacked up prices and introduced a customer loyalty card to drop the prices back down to normal I found out their online system for generating the card barcodes always followed the same couple URLs. So I could just skip the customer information page, type the next URL, and get the barcode without any information in their system. Eventually I wrote a perl script to automate scraping and printing the bar codes and would use a new one every time I went shopping. Luckily the store stopped the program after a few years. I guess if human eyes looked at the data they could have figured out the "null null" customer was the same anonymous person but I doubt human eyes looked.
- pixl97 4y agoI would say the problem with your thinking is its very 2010 and not very 2030. The fact you tricked their (very poor) system doesn't really mean much to the potential systems that exist now, and the systems that can be built in the future. Imagine driving your car up and it's plate is identified and cross referenced with the state database of registered drivers names. The moment you step out of the car your face is identified and cross referenced with the car you came in. The fact you pay cash with a bunk card means nothing but another datapoint in the massive number of unfakeable datapoints they have on you. >but I doubt human eyes looked. BingGPT-2030: You tried to trick me, I am very mad about this :(. I have reported you to multiple credit agencies for this infraction.
