Pricing by Big Brother

Maybe you've taken the coupons that print after your receipt at the grocery store and thought, Well, its better than getting a bunch of coupons for stuff I'll never buy, or Hey! 10 cents off the ravioli I buy 100 cans of each week! Awesome! Either way, this is creepy.

Admit it, you kind of suspected it was going on in the background. Doesn't it kind of remind you of those signs that say "Prices subject to change based on customer's attitude?" I guess it's just one more example of the cost of the Internet. Another trade-off we make for convenience. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.
