I’d be really interested in states pursuing lawsuits over this on SNAP/EBT grounds, if nothing else. Not sure about all states, but in California you can pay for food on Instacart with EBT. Changing the price based on consumer data leaves that wide open for exploiting poor people to get more government money.

Great call! No, you cannot charge more or less if someone is paying with SNAP. Remember when everyone on here shitting bricks when the government said grocers couldn’t have sale prices for SNAP beneficiaries? Same deal.
