Chuck DarwinRepresentative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and 13 colleagues wrote to the CEO of the supermarket behemoth <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kroger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kroger</a> in November about electronic price tags (often called <a href="https://c.im/tags/electronic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/shelf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shelf</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/labels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labels</a> or <a href="https://c.im/tags/ESLs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ESLs</a> ). These digital displays allow companies to change prices automatically from a mobile app. Tlaib warned that this so-called “<a href="https://c.im/tags/dynamic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dynamic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/pricing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pricing</a>” permits retailers to adjust prices based on their whims. Just as <a href="https://c.im/tags/Uber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Uber</a> raises prices during storms or rush hour, retailers like Kroger use ESLs to adjust prices based on factors like time of day or the weather. Supermarkets could conceivably mine a shopper’s personal data to set prices as high as possible. “My concern is that these tools will be abused in the pursuit of profit, surging prices on essential goods in areas with fewer and fewer grocery stores,” Tlaib wrote. In August, Senators Elizabeth <a href="https://c.im/tags/Warren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Warren</a> and Bob <a href="https://c.im/tags/Casey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Casey</a> wrote to Kroger raising similar concerns about <a href="https://c.im/tags/price" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#price</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gouging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gouging</a>. Noting that the company has already implemented the technology in hundreds of stores across the county, they warned that “ESLs may help Kroger extract maximum profits from consumers at a time when…high grocery prices are a leading concern among Americans who are concerned about inflation.” Warren and Casey also voiced concern about Kroger’s partnership with Microsoft to install <a href="https://c.im/tags/facial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#facial</a>-<a href="https://c.im/tags/recognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recognition</a> technology in stores, which could be used to identify individual customers: When a shopper approaches the shelf, she would see a price calibrated specifically for her. The next shopper might pay a different amount based on their profile. Retailers could use shopper data to charge higher prices to those who can afford to pay more, but since stores do not have to disclose who is making pricing decisions or why, the senators worry that shoppers on a budget are particularly vulnerable. “It is outrageous that, as families continue to struggle to pay to put food on the table, grocery giants like Kroger continue to roll out <a href="https://c.im/tags/surge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surge</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/pricing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pricing</a> and other corporate <a href="https://c.im/tags/profiteering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#profiteering</a> schemes,” they wrote<a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/society/retail-grocery-automation-esl-kroger/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thenation.com/article/society/retail-grocery-automation-esl-kroger/</a>

Chuck DarwinNew York’s new toll for drivers entering the center of Manhattan debuted Sunday, meaning many people will pay $9 to access the busiest part of the Big Apple during peak hours. The toll, known as <a href="https://c.im/tags/congestion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#congestion</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/pricing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pricing</a>, is meant to reduce traffic gridlock in the densely packed city while also raising money to help fix its ailing public transit infrastructure. The cost to drivers depends on what time of the day it is and if drivers have an E-ZPass, an electronic toll collection system that’s used in many states. <a href="https://apnews.com/article/nyc-congestion-pricing-manhattan-traffic-5a8a6de4495d687079290918f5a499c2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apnews.com/article/nyc-congestion-pricing-manhattan-traffic-5a8a6de4495d687079290918f5a499c2</a>
