It might be more effective to shoot a shopper with a tranquilizing dart, then while the shopper is sleeping, embed a tracking device in some soft tissue in a way that the shopper won't be harmed. Then, when the shopper wakes and resumes shopping, retailers will get very accurate metrics about their most secret shopping habits.
