Eugen RochkoI'm still pissed about how accepted surveillance capitalism is. In Germany there is this "payback" system where you identify at the checkout in shops and collect points you can turn into free shit. I'm still saying no every time the cashier asks me if I'm interested. I don't want anyone to datamine my shopping habits.
Ɠεɱɩoɠ :ca: :evergreen_tree:@Gargron I immediately realized what 'loyalty' cards were 1st time I encountered them. I began to rant, but a friend who was a cashier there rushed over to hush me up.. Turns out you can get anonymous cards. Mine is connected to a children's hospital. They routinely clear off the pointsand I get the proper price without the cardless 'penalty mark-up'.
