In standard retail transactions, that do not involve the noting of customer details, there is no system whereby the trader can trace the details of the owner of the credit / debit card. Only the banks / credit card companies possess that information and will not release them to a retailer.

Customer details are only taken to send on to TV Licensing as retailers who sell television receiving and recording equipment are required to do by law.

why do you think they can seize illegal money from drugs etc

That normally happens AFTER you are convicted of a criminal offence where large (> £10,000) sums of money are involved, and ONLY if you can't explain where the money came from in the first place.
