Two major supermarkets do this in the UK now. I fucking hate it, it should be illegal. I also noticed recently a store with digital price labels. Combine the two and we’re marching towards the news in the post at a breakneck speed.

Many supermarkets do adjust their prices based on the average income of the location they’re in, so this isn’t really different in some ways.

We need to make it illegal to charge different people different amounts of money for the same service based on any criteria other than a poverty discount and a senior discount.
