Kroger

But it's like, where are the other Republicans on this? And, um, When we talk about surveillance capitalism, I talked about this last week or week before last.

We're talking about surveillance pricing, which now they're looking at you when you're walking into a Kroger.

And you were just talking about this, that they look at you as a person.

Can you afford this? Or what have you purchased in the past? That's on your Kroger Plus card.

So they're able to track everything that you do and how much you've paid for it in the past.

Oh, you'll pay that again.

So maybe we should go back to Walmart to talk about this.

Sure.

Jay, great stuff.

Thank you for being here as part of Kroger Fresh Take.

We always appreciate your time on all of that and look forward to doing this again soon.

Hopefully next week after another win against Florida, one of those things we really cherish around here.

Good odds.

Yeah, go Dawgs and D.

Great stuff there from Jake Fromm as a part of a Kroger Fresh take here today.

I also saw that some of the people that apparently like to go to the Golden Isles for the Georgia-Florida game, staying in St. Simon's, places like that, apparently it's still a pretty popular thing to do that this week.

You're like, oh, okay.

You know, this is no Kroger, right? This is Wegmans.

No offense to Kroger, right? I like Kroger.

I like Food Lion.

I love Wegmans.

the races right now, and they may try to make it simple.

When you're walking out of Kroger or Meijer or coming out of Pine Knob or tailgating, they say, hey, are you mad about the cost of living? Yeah, I am.

Well, if you sign here, it will punish company X, Y, or Z like utilities.

That's an easy target.

Oh, thank you.

And there are some names that may seem familiar, right? Bank of America, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cincinnati Reds, the Cleveland Browns, Deloitte, DraftKings, Huntington Bank, Johnson & Johnson, Kroger, Pfizer, U.S.

Bank, and others, right? I think it is worth talking a little bit about this election, maybe not now, but maybe down the road, and the role that money is playing in it.

But it is enormously important that we keep our eye on that particular ball as well.

Funny you bring up the me no speak English topic.

Here at Kroger's yesterday, I asked the employee with the blue vest, where's the watermelon? She had no idea what I was saying.

She pointed at another employee to get the answer.

I cannot believe that they hire folks that cannot help customers.

American shoppers are really concerned that retailers and restaurants are using AI and personal data to charge higher prices.

Walmart, McDonald's, Kroger deny this completely.

They're not raising prices using AI.

Some states have passed laws restricting data-driven pricing, and I don't know how AI works on this level.

Somehow the phone still knows if you've got money or not.

People are accusing Walmart, McDonald's, Kroger of doing this.

They claim they're not.

But we heard they're using flock-like technology now at a McDonald's drive-thru.
