You agree to this when you shop at Whole Foods.

https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/site-information/privacy-no...

Under "Data Sharing with Amazon"

Whole Foods Market may share customers' personal information with, and receive personal information from, Amazon and its affiliates

This part mentions tracking transactions:

if you self-identify as a Prime member at a Whole Foods Market store by scanning the designated QR code or providing the phone number associated with your Amazon account, or if you use a payment card that is saved in your Amazon wallet at a Whole Foods Market store, then your Whole Foods Market transaction information will be associated with your Amazon account and that data may be used by both Whole Foods Market and Amazon

You can opt-out by using a credit card that Amazon doesn't know about.

You're out of your mind if you consider that "agreeing"

Didn't I already say that the mechanics are no mystery?

Are you suggesting that it's reasonable to maintain a seperate debit card for every business one interacts with? Otherwise, that option for "opting out" is invalid and disingenuous.

You shouldn't use debit cards at retail point of sale anyway, because fraud transactions cannot be reversed.

Another way to opt-out is to not shop at Whole Foods.
