How is that any different? If you pay with cash they don't know who you are, they're not taking your information down. Maybe they know a group of items were purchased by someone, but they still don't know who you are.
OK so you're really paranoid, and think that maybe if you're wearing something you bought and paid for in cash, and go back to the store and paid with a credit card, they could track that...but they still don't know its you who has the item cause it could have been a gift, etc etc..
I don't see what the big deal is.

Actually, they're only illegal to remove unless you are the consumer. IE if its your mattress, you can do whatever you want with the tag.
