My local paper ran this article from Consumer Report's today: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2013/03/how-stores-spy-on-you/index.htm

(It's too long for cut and paste but not really very long and well worth a look.)

This kind of stuff gives me the creeps.

What do you think about it?

@edgarblythe,

I think you're right.

In the meantime, I'm going to be turning off my phone when I'm shopping. It just feels very invasive to me and I prefer not to aid them if I can help it.

Good for you Boom, I've long wondered whether all that pasting doesn't waste a whole lot of digital space
