Not necessarily, they might have timestamps and register # that could be correlated to build a "unsupervised" profile of a customer.

Extreme case: you are the only person that ever buys product X around time Y, so that fact can be used as an anchor to build a profile.

You need to be way more paranoid if you want to be a true privacy warrior.

Also be careful not to leave any fingerprints or strands of hair around!
