What did she do that was humiliating? I get not wanting random videos of oneself online, but why is she so anxious about the video? She was just shopping, what so embarrassing about that?

Hidden cameras and recordings have been things for like 100 years.
Edit and privacy law's reflect that.
Also everyone is literally constantly pointing a camera at you in public with their phones. Public places don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

precisely why I won't talk to someone wearing a camera, or pointing a camera at me.. I'll stand there in silence the entire time, or just walk away.
put the camera down, talk or buh bye..
