Have you ever had this happen to you?

So recently, I went into a shipping service store, that is well known, etc etc. I walked in, asked a question, then walked out. I did nothing else.

A couple days later, I get an email from them, to the email address that I have used for them in the past. The email wants me to take a survey.

Now, since I have made a shipping label online with them before once, then took that label (attached to a parcel) in the store, which was then scanned, I can only assume that this recent email I got was the result of facial recognition data gathering.

I am an extremely privacy conscious person, but this tactic evades even me, as the only way to avoid it, would be to never set foot into their store.

I really really hate myself too because the email I used with them is one of my personal-name emails and now they have that. I did that before I became privacy conscious. I can only imagine how other people feel, who are much deeper in the hole than a random facial recognition incident.

Have any of your ever experienced this? where you walked into some place and then got an email? It's so creepy..
