MB: Yeah, but not by an airport who is a third-party to your transaction. And if you pay cash in a store, it's anonymous. What I'm saying is that you can't pay cash for an item in an airport without scanning your boarding pass.

"everything you purchase is tracked to your identity" is largely true with card payments anyway

I'm really struck by the fact that at many airports (especially European ones, Turkish ones, Qatar), you can't buy a sandwich at a kiosk or a trinket at a shop without scanning your boarding pass, so everything you purchase is tracked to your identity
