You might be interested in a book from long ago called No Place to Hide by O'Harrow. In 2004 he discussed Target, Home Depot, and shopping malls using mobile phone identification to collect and classify customers. This is just the next logical step. I would be very surprised if major retailers are not already using facial recognition software.

Big retail chains are already doing this.

I believe I read on HN a few years ago that Facebook had a product for retail shops that did this. Couldn't find anything on the web though.
