New job: poor person personal shopper. Someone with a "poor" profile follows you around the store so you can use their quoted prices instead of your own. Or travel agents that only book flights for you using early-2000s flip phones, shielding clients from the iPhone premium price.
- Retr0id 9mo agoThe "poor" people would be getting the raw end of the deal - their profile would soon become "wealthy" and they'd have to pay more themselves.
