List of Stores Online & Off that Quietly Bilk $Billions from Shoppers

AI algorithms are being used to charge customers different prices for the same items. You may already know this, but many don’t realize just how sophisticated and pervasive it is. Like I revealed the stores that sell Apeel-coated produce, here’s a list of stores that stealthily steal your hard earned dollars.

The scary part? It’s not just online. It’s happening in the physical grocery, clothing, home improvement, and restaurant stores, too. 

“The systems are watching you. Learning your patterns. Using that to charge everyone accordingly.. and we are training them in ways that are incalculable.”

So when you give online stores and supermarkets your data, this is how they use it.

This is another wealth transfer taking place right in front of our eyes..

Algorithmic pricing experiments are occurring through the platforms at several of the nation’s biggest grocery retailers. Prominent examples include Albertsons, Walmart, Kroger, Safeway, Sprouts, Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Target, among others, often under the guise of security measures or loyalty programs.

See the full list below.

At a time when food price increases outpace overall inflation and Americans report that the price of groceries is a major cost concern, pricing experiments used by companies make the situation worse. 

Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in facial recognition. AI algorithms are used to analyze facial features, compare them against databases, and identify individuals. The accuracy and efficiency of facial recognition systems are heavily reliant on AI. AI is the engine that drives facial recognition.

Your face should not be scanned, stored, or sold just because you walk into or work at a store.

The Stores, Restaurants & Other Businesses Using Facial Recognition:

BanFacialRecognition.com asked the top retailers in the country if they use facial recognition in their stores:

• Some confirmed they’re not and WON’T USE it in the future.

• Others MIGHT BE USING IT, since they either failed to respond to our requests or implied they would/could in the future.

• Even worse, some retailers ARE USING facial recognition in stores right now.

Thanks to BanFacialRecognition.com. They are working to grow the community of businesses that have pledged to protect the safety of their customers and workers by rejecting facial recognition.

“These tactics hurt families who are simply trying to purchase essential groceries. At a time when everyday Americans are struggling with high prices, it is particularly egregious to see corporations secretly conducting individual experiments to see how much a person is willing to pay. Companies must be transparent and upfront with people about pricing, so that they can make informed choices and keep more of their hard-earned money.” ~Justin Brookman, director of tech policy at Consumer Reports

“The Lord detests dishonest scales,
    but accurate weights find favor with him.” ~Proverbs 11:1 (NIV)
