I believe there are a few experimental supermarkets that read your preferences [from past purchases and other information on you] in your store card with RFID chip in your wallet; as one walks down the isles a soft synthetic voice talks to you, making suggestions, telling you your favorite items are on sale, etc. I never get store cards, but if I even encountered such a store, I'd run out....but then there are those who have had microchip RFID implants in their bodies....becoming C3PO's themselves.
