But at least they harvested tons of biometric, personal, behavioral and health data connected to account names and numbers to sell to data harvesters, merchants, hackers, governments and other ill intentioned groups, right?? So not all a loss.

They were doing that before self-checkout. Can I scan your {store loyalty} card so you get the lower price?
