You mean you can pay with cash? The one I’ve seen is with making an account with email and online payment, or worse, an app that can extract all sorts of info.
What the fuck? Do people not understand the concept of privacy? Have you ever read one of those cookie agreements? This is exactly the same!
If you pay via card or app or account they have your name and identity. We KNOW they use or sell that information from countless examples. That information is bought and aggregated by other companies, and the NSA owns or backdoors those companies, or the cops or ICE can buy that information without a warrant.

App/account - yes. Card - no.

I realise USA is quickly descending into totalitarianism but what you are presenting is a tinfoil hat level of madness.
In what reality do you live in lol? This isn’t a conspiracy theory, this is literally the business model of “data collection companies”. European privacy laws and the cookie disclaimer BS just showed us what is already happening.
If you don’t think all this data isn’t being collated and used then you don’t understand the nature of neoliberal capitalism and politics. Mock me all you want, but it seems they’ve already won when basic privacy is now a fringe idea.
For me it’s mostly privacy concerns. Now the fucking shop and all their 111 marketing partners know my email and where I live.
Why? At least here the self checkout gets exactly the same info from me as the regular one

where are you at that you can’t use cash and have to use an app??? everywhere I’ve worked and shopped, at least some of the self checkouts take cash
Havent seen one where you can pay with cash, but I have never seen one where you need to make an account to use.
I just tap my card
Well then they know your name at the very least and can use and sell your shopping data.
But that’s not at all specific to self checkouts
Yeah, but all you need to do is wear a small tinfoil hat, that protects you from this.
HOW THE FUCK IS BEING CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR EVERY MOVEMENT BEING TRACKED CONTROVERSIAL NOW??!?
Yes, shops definitely track you when you are not using any app.
What?
