Today I was in a sportswear shop in Denmark, where all items had two prices:
— A normal price which came with the requirement that you registered with them, so they can data mine your purchases.
— An almost 100 percent higher price which was offered to anyone who did not want to have their data mined.
I truly loathe this, but it is becoming more and more common in large retail chains in my country. Are you seeing this in your country as well?
@randahl Last time I was in this shop, the kind young man at the till somehow gave me the member price even though I don't live in Denmark osv.

@randahl In Hungary, we also have this, but not so extensively, meaning:
- in hypermarkets, there are many products which have dual prices;
- the price difference is 10-30%
- but the majority of products are still single-price. -

@randahl yes, but not +100%. It's more like -10% if you register.

@randahl definitely beginning to happen here in the UK. Tesco started it with special “Tesco Clubcard” prices.

Nope, nothing like that in Germany, as far as I can tell -

@randahl depends, usually the difference is not that much and not on every item but it can be considerable.
Usually it is about having shop's app but also can be some offer like "buy two for the price of one" available only for app holders. Quite often this "bargain price" is actually normal market price so by not choosing the offer you effectively pay twice as much.
I hate it of course.

@randahl no. Haven't seen this in Germany, yet. And I would definitely not buy anything there.

Not yet here in the States. Frankly I'm shocked that anyone got to this level of fuckery before us. -

One commenter wrote that such practice is not in the US yet, but it most definitely is. It’s typically called the member price and the nonmember price. The difference is typically 10-20%. There can be other differences, too. If a product is in high demand, members might have a higher limit on the number they can buy. You become a member by obtaining a loyalty card, which usually requires your name, address (so they can send you junk mail), phone number (which can stand in for your membership number so you don’t always have to have your card on you), and an email address (so they can send you junk email). I positively hated that system, and I’m sorry to report that it’s in Ukraine, too.

@randahl Every time you accept a loyalty card you get lower prices and other "ad vantages", in other words you're data mined to the bones...

@randahl Imerco at one point had regular prices for "members", and sometimes multiples of 100% higher prices for others.
I just stopped shopping there.

@randahl check out this bs.
I think they've dialled it back slightly, because I remember it being for everything.

Yes, at a smaller markup. It's called a loyalty card or Co-op membership. And then there are online retailers, who do not offer the more expensive option at all.

@randahl It's the "Consent or pay" model of privacy/informed consent and it is truly terrible.
