Kroger’s Surveillance Pricing Harms Consumers and Raises Prices, With or Without Facial Recognition.
-
Gonna have to wear a disguise, just to buy groceries.

My grandmother told stories of howl they would trade farm eggs for coffee from Kroger. Kroger is a bit different these days.
-
And so at small stores ran by local owners who can’t afford surveillance equipment and aren’t obsessed with profit
-
Yes why do you think they make you pay with your card or Walmart app if they can help it? So they can track your purchases
-
Yeah, but they're not going to deploy expensive tech to low-end stores. Margins at places like that are so thin, I'd guess running this system would break the bank.
-
The way Kroger works is that they absolutely ream you with the price-gouging if you don't let them track your purchases through your "kroger plus" card.
-
That's absolutely not true. They have your face which they can put a name on, they know which checkout you went to and everything you bought, if it's on sale or not, if it's within your usual purchase baseline, etc etc, all of which goes into their tracking system.
-
We don’t have a Krogers but that behavior is enough to not use the stores that do this.
-
Those people are just in denial. Look up clearview AI, The are paid by walmart and lowes and target,...... They don't care if you pay cash or with shmeckles or if you use a painted rock as a phone. They know you anyways. "smile, your on camera"
