@CiaraNi so frustrating! One of the major Aus supermarkets now does member prices but to get them you have to have the app so they get to track me šŸ˜” and the mall doesnā€™t get data half the time so you need the ā€œfreeā€ wifi to scan the card and you have to answer three questions to get on it which is more info gathering plus risks of public wifi. I hate it so much!

@FrancescaJ That is a perfect example of how bananas it is. The presumption upon our time and data and privacy! And for something that should be so simple - shoppiing for groceries.

Iā€™ve read that if youā€™re logged in to their wifi, supermarkets even track your way around the store and analyse your interests from which segments you visit and how long you stand in front of which shelves.

@CiaraNi @nellie_m the fact itā€™s totally believable is pretty damning in itself

@FrancescaJ @nellie_m I was literally about to say the same thing, just before I saw your comment. Agreed, the fact that I wouldn't put it past them speaks volumes in itself.
