Not sure about that, but I did see numerous new Coca-Cola products in new flavors that I assume they put together by scraping metrics from these; and if I remember correctly they do have cellular interface.
Comment on Babe can you refill my drink from the cloaca dispenser please?

Those vending machines have facial recognition cameras on them.

Yeah, says so right there in the brochure. “Video capability” AND it’s got bluetooth, which is a famously promiscuous protocol so if you’re anywhere near one of these things with BT enabled it’s fucking in your BT, seeing your status

Anyone with a spectrum analyzer can see people using their earbuds, they can’t deduce any useful information from that. Several analyzers? Yea, can triangulate signals, so what. They still can’t know for sure who they belong to, since BT doesn’t transmit identifying info unless you’re pairing (aka discoverable), and even then it can be randomized.
Also I posted in in a different comment but I’ll leave this here too.
A typical fast food restaurant has dozens, if not hundreds of wifi and bt devices. Nothing surprising when your phone has to fight to get loud enough for your buds.
From a quick search, bluetooth classic has 79 channels, and if there’s 2.4Ghz Wifi in use, it has 14 in damn near the same frequency range.
If you’re worried about tracking - there are far easier ways to do that than hope your BT devices are discoverable and then try and match the (possibly randomized) device IDs to you.

That’s… not how Bluetooth works.

That isn’t the one from the picture and I’ve never seen one of those in the wild. Not that they don’t exist, but the comment I replied to said “those” referring to the one in the image, which clearly doesn’t have a pinhole camera.

“Video capability to promote and drive sales” quite obviously refers to the big fucking display on the thing, it can play video ads.
