Robbery

"We got tracking on number five, active credit balance shows two hundred and thirteen cents, phone number is 555 5555."

This is what happens when you now go into the supermarket.  It is disgusting.  They ransack your wallet with RFID and wifi card readers before you reach the counter and probably your pin.

There are pictures in a google search of video tracking systems that look like some sort of fucked up football replay screen.  Customers are assigned tracking numbers and outlined in yellow, blue, green, red, and purple.  They scuttle under the cameras, their phone numbers out in the open, breaches of privacy underlined in secret and on purpose.

My understanding is that this is reverse shoplifting.  They swipe your numbers and information because you want to have a Mexican themed party for whatever occassion.
