I used to shop at a supermarket here, spending upwards of 10K/yr there on my family grocery bill -- they got some AI startup camera bullshit and I've never been back. (Startup stuff both in store and parking lot, supposedly ties cars to customers and all kinds of shit, I won't say who so as not to promote them.) It's been half a year so far, and I'll never trust them again. I considered contacting their CEO to say hey, for every guy like me who bothers to contact you, there may be others who just change stores and don't bother. In the end, I didn't bother either, I just shop somewhere else (its about 5 minutes further away but 15% or so cheaper overall... so I'm winning on two levels). You'd have to be catching a hell of a lot of shoplifting to make up for even half a dozen lost regulars. I bet they got sold it and aren't doing any kind of before and after analysis, not that I'd rise above the noise anyway. Hopefully 99% of this stuff will die off when the bubble pops; I assume that even if it is profitable now, it won't be once retailers and other customers trim the fat during a recession.
