Sure you can pay with cash. But you better turn off your phone because they also track you with your WiFi MAC address when you walk into stores.

Your phone should randomise the Mac when searching for access points.

That's where IOS did much better.

Does iOS randomize MAC addresses when looking for public wifi networks?

Another thing to worry about is whether iPhone really turns off the wifi radio when it is greeted out from the menu.. I remember a setting change somewhere around ios10/11..
