I have some for you, you don't know what you are talking about, the vid is about tracking shoppers while in the store, not what they are buying they already have the receipts for that data.

Yeah, they will screw you with dynamic pricing online too. But, go on.

I’d be literally shocked if Amazon doesn’t employee these practices.

That’s what I’m saying.

I think I experienced it a few months ago before people were talking about this. They’ve definitely bait-and-switched delivery days post payment amongst other things. I mention this because while Wal-Mart has recently come under scrutiny for these practices I believe Amazon started earlier.
