“Surge Pricing” in American grocery stores has arrived

Kroger partnered with Microsoft to introduce AI-powered technologies for personalized pricing

“Kroger just rolled out surge pricing using facial recognition technology:

- Determine the maximum price of goods customers are willing to pay
- Kroger has the ability to change the prices of their products depending on the facial image of the person buying them
- Depending on the image of the person buying the product, they can access our information and dictate that price
- Can also use our image to determine how often we buy certain products and increase the price of that product
- Dynamic pricing in grocery stores could resemble the airline industry's ticket pricing strategies

“This could lead to discriminatory practices using AI as a scapegoat to charge people of different races, different socioeconomic status, different family sizes, and different dietary restrictions different prices for the same products that they are buying”

(Kroger, the largest grocery chain in the U.S., denied claims that ESLs would be used for surge pricing, insisting its pricing strategy aims to lower costs for consumers. "To be clear, Kroger does not and has never engaged in 'surge pricing.' Any test of electronic shelf tags is designed to lower prices for more customers where it matters most”) … Yeah right

GO FUCK YOUR MUTHAFUCKING SELVES! That’s all you need to know, Ho. Your VILE fucking ass ain’t won nothing since 2017. Except maybe a lifetime supply of Jheri curl lotion for that nasty ass mop you got on your muthafucking head. You need to stay your Black ass OUT of America’s business and just write that tired-ass porn you like to rub one off too. Don’t NOBODY need to hear from a stank gap-tooth wannabe skeezer like you.

We are winning. They are turning on them. Hopefully soon, and I mean really soon, they won't be able to walk the street. Skol!

I think Notre Dame gets ya. Y’all lost 2 games to these bums, and Kentucky about cooked ya.
Yeah, that is an awful lot to put on that backup. If it was prior Kirby D's I think they would have a chance. This ND team seems different than the Kelly teams. Anyway, that's why they play and I hope Stockton plays well. Should be a good'n and I got fuck all to do but stoke the fire and eat! Skol brothers and have a safe and Happy New Year!
Someone needs to put out an APB on one @Rebarcock.

everybody is very quick to dismiss Georgia

I think our defense should shut Notre Dame down. This is a game Georgia should win if we take care of the ball on offense.
I think even with our back up quarterback, Georgia’s best is better than Notre Dame’s best. Hopefully, we rise to the occasion.
IMO Georgia finds a way to beat Notre Dame in a low scoring game.



Should be a good one

Hope everybody has a happy new year

Penn St or Boise St? I think Penn wins but I am pulling for that coach and his team. View attachment 227952
I’m rooting for Boise, but I think they’re gonna get killed. Kind of the same thing for Arizona State tomorrow I think Texas will kill them

I don’t think Boise or Arizona State should’ve gotten the first round bye
It should’ve been the top four ranked teams

Anyways, I think the Rose Bowl is a tossup and the sugar bowl should be a close game with Georgia coming out on top.

If this were true, the backlash would be insurmountable, and Kroger would be Budlite’d in a matter of days…

I need more proof and can’t find anything online so far.
