Would a burner phone be susceptible to this kind of attack?

Yes, but then you get rid of it immediately. Also, don't activate it or have it on at home or any other place that can be associated with you. Only do so after paying with cash and at the location where you're going to use it then dispose of it.

You will be recorded while paying for the phone. This won't bring you any anonymity.

wear a mask, nondescript clothing, pay with cash, and don't bring your phone to the store

Wear gloves, rinse the fingerprints off the money, wait for it to dry, then use it to buy stuff

Blowdry your beard, moisturize your hands and use a kangaroo scrotum purse.

You will have been recorded at the protest too. So the store recording gives away nothing new.

Sure but no phone also works.
