I started wearing a N95 for medical reasons a few years ago and this may help with the cameras.
I've never done a selfie or posted any photos of my face on social media. I have a driver's license but my country has privacy laws so that information shouldn't be available to any company that wants it. On the other hand, The War Amps has access so maybe stores do as well.
I feel naked without a ballcap. A few stores in my area have the cameras at eye-level. I look down when entering or exiting if I'm not wearing sunglasses.
I never use the self checkouts. These often have high def cameras inches from one's face. This is an effective way to connect a customer's face and their name by way of a credit or bank card.
I always use cash.
