They will most certainly be tracking a lot more than just you picking up your item. The data they collect about shopping behavior will be interesting.

Like, how long I hesitated before I picked up something, what I had already in my "cart" at the time, what deals I looked at but passed on, etc.

More interesting are the shopping patterns like purchase frequency, the time periods between them, the kinds of flavors you like and other products you've not considered. Less insidious. More along streamlining your purchase process and identifying similar behaviors and tastes. Much of which any store with a rewards program should already know.
