I disagree with this idea that businesses should have to keep their customers secret. If I go to Wal-Mart, then I should be free to tell my neighbors about what products were on sale and also how the produce was old / left to spoil. I’m not sure why that should be different for the store.

Do you think Walmart should be handing your credit card numbers out? Genetic profiles of you? Is there any limit or do you think if you walk into a space whoever owns that space can get and do whatever they want with any information you might happen to have on you?

They don’t. They just have to ask the person whose personal data it is if they can.

There are plenty of places folks visit that they would rather not have out loud.

I don’t see how personal preference should control other people’s speech. When I put terrible Google reviews down for a shop… I’m sure they don’t want that said publicly either… but it’s not libel… what I’m saying is true. There isn’t generally value in concealing the truth.
