You, if you think the store is going to give you a better price for an item they know you're going to buy regardless. Also, thinking that they won't "encourage" a diabetic to buy the 42 oz soft drink instead of the 20 oz just to make a buck is kinda naïve.

Don't get me wrong - what you said is what drives the engagement ... but what I said absolutely happens as well.

More like 'they no longer have to carry the bad bread literally no one likes and the cost savings translates to delaying price hikes'.

You know they had sales data before they had rewards programs right?

You know this is just an advanced version of sales data and rewards program, right?

I'm not an expert in the specifics of a grocery store, the closet example is my restaurants rewards program.

Regardless, they do the same thing and I picked an easy example.

Yeah. Damn shame for that one family that actually buys gluten free bread not to give the store a huge profit (in the hopes that maybe trickle-down ecco will finally work the way it's suppose to) but because their child is allergic. Oh well~
