(+) Yeah! (+)

"Last time you were here you bought a loaf of bread, so this time we're selling nothing but bread. You like bread, right?"

i swear to god it's more like the opposite. discover something i like, buy it a few times, never see it again

Shopping malls do this but they do it based on race and location rather than purchase history. They got pp wacked when it was exposed that they're filming without consent. Then when the public got distracted an hour later, they went back to it

Sounds like a Target thing!

If they used algorithms they would have people complaining about how it found out they were pregnant before even they knew.

You know, like how it actually happened.

Products are disappearing as they reshape the markets. Im seeing stores buy each other out and as a result, store brands are disappearing. Suspiciously, though, Im noticing name brand products skyrocket in price.

Now your $1.80 snack is gone and the next thing is $6.50. Its almost like Coke and Pepsi (the companies who own almost every snack available) are paying stores to not make store brand.

I'd be down if the beer section was the first thing I saw when I walk into the store.
