Also, the store isn't freakishly stalking me and noting down all my habits whilst sharing what it has collected with its friends, or indeed anyone who will buy the data.

Many retail stores do, actually, through wireless tracking, cameras, and/or purchase history. They will buy and sell consumer data through the likes of Acxiom.

It would be great to have a ublock equivalent for the physical world.

There is: paying with cash, not using loyalty cards, and refusing to supply zip codes, phone numbers, and whatever else they rudely ask for get you 92% of the way there. For the rest, you can wear a Groucho mask while in the store. But that only works if Groucho masks become popular.
