As the digital era moves forward, it seemed logical that grocery stores would move to digital pricing screens. It saves time and manpower, because no one has to change out the old sticker pricing any longer, it can be easily changed. I wasnt too concerned about it, to be honest. Then I read a headline this morning ...

"Maryland to Become First US State to Ban Surveillance Pricing That Charges More After Mining Personal Data"

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/maryland-to-become-first-us-state-to-ban-surveillance-pricing/

I reread the sentence, then did a quick Google search.

Y'all ... they are going to use our phone data and app data, to charge us MORE for items we use frequently, on an individual basis!

Maybe I am the last to link the two together ... but I figured it was worth sharing, in case other people were unaware, as I was.

All of the prices added, when shopping at Walmart.

This soup is very filling and flavorful!
