That's about impossible to enforce.

It is blindingly easy to enforce. Modern cash registers have the
employee sign in. The surveys have a unique code on each receipt.
When a survey gets filled out, they know who the cashier was. They
know what store he was in. They may well know what the weather was
like that day. Data is cheap.

Correct, but it is about impossible to enforce a policy which punishes an
employee for something they have no control over - such as whether a
customer completes a survey that is optional for them to complete. It has
nothing to do with data or logins.

it's just semantics, but it's really easy to enforce the policy since
the employer has control over the pay of the employee. it's impossible
to make it meaningful to their data collection; either the employee will
do it for the customer, or the customer will ignore it. either way, the
data produced is meaningless.
