The price adjustments due to coupons, rewards programs, and food stamps are all publicly available (transparent). No hidden algorthms. If the coupon says 10% off, then that's what you get. It's not maybe 10% off or maybe something else depending on a secret recipe like if the temperature is between x and y and you have a name that rhymes with Pobert or whatever else some AI has figured out.

- rootusrootus 2y agoThe coupons I get in the mail from Fred Meyer (a local Kroger subsidiary) are custom, printed for me based on my purchase history. I can’t guarantee they alter the discount for the same item based on the customer, but it seems logical. Also, the coupons they print on the fly with the receipt could be custom priced for that specific customer, as well.
