What I don't get is:

1. Pretend it's the 1900s.

Walk into a general store, shopkeeper sees you looking at ammo for 20 minutes and then leave without buying anything. Next time you walk in, he recognizes you and says he'll give you a discount on ammo if you buy in bulk.

This is totally cool, not a violation of privacy, and both parties benefit. win/win

2. Use a computer to do the same exact thing automatically

Rage, pitchforks and proverbial molotov cocktails and people going on privacy diatribes.

What's the difference?
