Do the clerks in this store regularly make videos of their customers and publish them on the internet?

.... but in this day and age, I think a lot of people have their camera at the ready just in case. I think about the time before phone cameras and the amazing, hilarious, dumb stuff that was missed, and is now readily available on places like YouTube.

8. Kind of unusual for businesses to record customers for entertainment purposes, though

I think her expectation was that she was going to buy $10 of gas, and not become a national celebrity.

This was not a business recording their customers. It was a cashier who worked for the business using his own private phone for his personal entertainment. He probably spotted her before she got halfway across the parking lot and was ready when she came in. Hell, I can activate my camera on my phone with a push of a single button. As for her expectations for the day, I agree with you. She was probably not expecting to become a celebrity, but I'm sure that everyone who has viewed the video understands why it happened.
