In the end this made news about how the surveillance economy works and should further freak people out about it. This helps long term I think.

I have a club card account with a fake name on it. While they may track the purchase I make and know that a single person made them all, it's not attached to anything that is linked to me. My understanding is that they can't link credit card numbers to purchases, they can only use the number to run the transaction.

It's not great they track purchasing, but if it's not linked to me I don't really care that much.
