This is effectively charging a privacy tax to anyone not wishing to participate in the data collection program. Ironically, that privacy tax pays for collecting data on card holders, with no true cost benefit to any customers.My favorite example of this is something near and dear pac to my heart, my coffee creamer. Back when only one of the three grocery chains in my town had a card program, my favorite coffee creamer retailed everyday for $1.19 in all three stores. |

| (glancing at watch) I'm still waiting... --Rob Privacy Tax vs. Perceived Savings (Score:2, Interesting) by wasted time (891410) on Saturday gwyneth paltrow August 06, @03:41PM (#13259735) Some of you may be interested in reading a bit about these so called gwyneth paltrow loyalty card programs here. http://www.nocards.org/ [nocards.org]I am not usually the tinfoil hat type, and these gwyneth paltrow people tend to go a little overboard with some of their logic (especially on the RFID side) but most of their information about the loyalty card programs I have found to be true.Having worked for a grocery chain for 8 years and most recently a pharmacy chain for 12 years, I am very familiar with the pricing and promotion models used in both. Buying product, setting prices, and developing promotions was my job. The apparent savings offered to these loyalty card holders is nothing of the sort in most cases. |
