Lawmakers make weird laws.

Lawmakers make weird laws. New Jersey just banned “surveillance pricing” on groceries and other necessities. Here’s the boogeyman: grocery stores are going to charge you more because of data they have about you. So, not only are the shelf price labels going to change as you or I walk past them (lets hope we’re not walking together), but by the time we get to the register the scanner will know that you and I are supposed to pay a different price? And of course I won’t notice so I would never just shop at … a different store. Congratulations to all the lawmakers patting themselves on the back for saving consumers from this imaginary evil. ~ learn more
