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.
The facial recognition is done mostly to the eyes so the mask doesn't protect too much, you would want glasses and a cap
I wear both.
I feel like you're slipping too much into the paranoia region. Also masks don't help with face recognition that much
Yeah, I know you know better than everyone else, and everyone who disagrees is just an uneducated pleb, but this one you can test for yourself. More than half of the nodal points needed for the face recognition are above the centroid of the face, which usually a top point of a mask, and half of the other half are the outer part of the face which mask doesn't conceal much. You need less then a half of the points to reliably recognize a face, and even me, stupid rube with no education, can do the math here.
Oh that I can believe
