This feels to me like “we know this user will typically spend the asking price rather than wait for a discount, so they will always get full price offers” or “according to cookies and other data this user also browses high end products elsewhere so we will offer inflated prices or higher ‘shipping’ costs and they will never question it”
Yeah i see. I have heard a similar angle of the same tactic for ‘smart trolleys’ where your shopping trolley/cart has a tablet device you scan your customer ID with and then scan items as you shop directly into your cart and when you leave you simply pick your bags out of the trolley and walk out with automatic debiting.
However who is to say what price you see on your screen vs the guy shopping next to you like you just said, tech will really be used for the worst purposes unless regulations are in place.
