I doubt that people do want to be profiled however I would argue that the information stating they will is hidden somewhere in tiny text on page 267 of the T&C.

Cash is truly the only de-facto standard that gives you privacy on expenditure.

Most supermarkets in the UK now have cameras at the till, so if you pay cash, they still know it is you.

If you are referring to NCR self checkout cameras. This is generally NCR SmartAssist and NCR ScanItAll which is for shrink and employee theft rather than mass identification. I only know of ASDA near me that has this implementation.

Overton window is moving. If they are not doing mass identification now, they will in a couple of years.
