    Even in the very unlikely event that the cash machine records the bill numbers, this is of only minimal relevance if the supermarket uses the same branch and the bank would really bother to check all the bill numbers issued by the supermarket and filter them out which can belong to you. Even if they would do a follow-up like this, it is a difference that they know how much you spent, and that they not only know this, but also in detail what you bought at the same time when you pay with the card, passing it through the scanner of the supermarket, in addition also the subsidiary of the mall, without having to bother filtering out the numbers, adding that with paing with card, also the supermarced knows your identity, your Banc number and even your ID card number. And more, if you are one of those who use these discount cards or apps that these supermarkets provide, not taking into account that they do not deduct more than a few cents, but that you sell them your private data, address and telephone numbers, so that they ‘gift’ you with Spam.

      Yes exactly. They can probably only know where you shopped, not what you bought, if they even do this. But they’ve executed much more sophisticated plots than this. Look at the eurion constellation.

        Yes, but Eurion Constellation patterns are only to avoid that you can make a photocopy of the money, they will result black and even with a warning. Not a tracking measure.

          Well I obviously know that.

          As I explained above, it’s an example of how "they’ve executed much more sophisticated plots than this.”

            I know, but paying with cash, few things they can do. Because of this there are so much promotions of cards and worst, paying with Mobile.
