I know Kroger (or QFC) has been doing this for ~6 or 7 years. My wife would start getting targeted ads for things that were in areas we lingered around for more than a few seconds.

FWIW Lowe's does the same exact thing. Probably IMEI harvesting but IIRC Lowe's is looking at or has implemented facial recognition. If not to identify your face outright, at least to see what you're focusing on in-store.

More reason to shop local at the hippy stores. Or start gardening.
