Years ago it was possible to get a Safeway affinity card by enrolling as "Safeway Shopper", without providing any additional information. I don't know if this is still possible.
That's helpful if you wish to opt out of the tracking. Of course, if you pay by credit card, even once, the company has now associated a name with that affinity card.
As I'm sure you know, Scott McNealy proclaimed this a few decades ago: "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it". How remarkably prescient that was!
