    nonzero chance they still profit from this due to being able to categorize you into a percentage group to sell to advertisers.

        Its more that they can analyze demographics based on race, perceived gender and clothing style to estimate financial brackets that shop in the store and cater ads to groups of people based on how you interact in the store. Things you looked at, how long you looked at it, your walking style, what youre doing with your hands. Its all tracked and used and/or sold to mentally manipulate you into buying.

        you probably know this but I’m responding for people who may not.

      This is unlikely. Bucees makes all their money from the extremely overpriced items in the store. The bathrooms and cheap gas are only there to get you into the store. They even got sued in Alabama for selling gas below wholesale pricing, violating a state law.
