They got caught. They’re backing down. But this isn’t over. There needs to be a class action lawsuit. Instacart admitted it was using AI to charge different people different prices for the exact same items. Algorithmic price gouging. That scam could cost a family of four $1,200 more a year.

No longer a conspiracy theory Instacart has been caught using Dynamic Pricing They are accessing personal data of users and then adjusting prices based on that data. If someone can afford to pay more for items, the prices increase “You may have heard of dynamic pricing. Well now Instacart is accused of using this controversial practice to charge consumers wildly inconsistent prices on the same products. — This is infuriating. Food delivery service Instacart is being accused of charging different prices to different customers on the same grocery items without them knowing. Groundwork, it's a consumer advocacy group, Instacart says Instacart's pricing algorithm could lead to shoppers paying an extra $1,200 on groceries annually. Nearly three-quarters of grocery items it surveyed were sold at different price points. Instacart said the price differences were tests conducted by some retailers to learn what matters most to consumers. It denied using shoppers' personal information to fuel dynamic or customized pricing.”

EXCLUSIVE: We uncovered a secret corporate scheme to raise grocery prices. We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. The scary part? It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long investigation with Consumer Reports and Groundwork Collaborative found it could cost families $1200/year.

I sent a letter to Instacart demanding answers about their use of algorithmic pricing and price experiments that led users to be charged different prices for the same products. New Yorkers deserve fair prices and clear disclosures about how their personal information is used.

Are you still using Instacart? They’re building & buying AI tech (like Eversight) to run hidden backdoor price tests—putting shoppers in different “buckets” to figure out the absolute highest price you’re willing to pay for the same groceries. They claim prices come from grocery stores, but when asked (e.g., Target), stores say they don’t even partner with Instacart—they just use public prices + Instacart adds fees after buying rival Shipt for hundreds of millions. Instacart’s experiments led to identical items costing up to 23% more for some users, costing families hundreds extra yearly. At what point is convenience no longer worth the hidden gouging? Time to rethink the app? #Instacart #GroceryPrices #ConsumerRipoff

No longer a ‘conspiracy theory’ Online retailers are accessing your data and then adjusting prices for items based on that data Airlines are being caught adjusting prices based on data too “This holiday season, you and your neighbor could be shopping for the exact same item and pay different prices — surveillance pricing is and how your personal data plays a role. You may be shopping for gifts from the comfort of your couch, but stores can still see who you are. Most of these companies are charging you a different price based on some data they have about you. It could be your location, it could be your proximity to the store, it could be your shopping history, knowing that you bought a product previously and are willing pay for it again.” “Consumer watchdog president Jamie Court says surveillance pricing is nearly impossible to avoid — Court says his organization has evidence all the major retailers use personal algorithms to nudge a price up or down, targeting data from your Amazon cart, Uber rides, or even the brand of laptop you're using to shop” “For those traveling for the holidays. Airlines will charge you a different price depending upon how many times you go to the website. “Currently, there is no federal regulation for companies that use surveillance pricing. We reached out to the FTC”

This is how Instacart got exposed accessing your personal data to algorithmically adjust grocery store prices based on each person (dynamic pricing) The investigators at More Perfect Union say this is starting to happen everywhere and needs to be regulated “Five months of digging, what we found is bigger than Instacart. Yes, inflation is real, but something else has been pushing prices higher this whole time. There's a system, one that grocery stores and tech companies built together. It learns from every purchase. It's not just online, it's in the physical stores you walk into. With the primary goal, maximize profit. Here's how we uncovered it, how it's turning the grocery business into a gold mine, and why, without regulation, your grocery bill may keep climbing no matter what happens with inflation” The held an experiment with a bunch of people in a room, everyone ordered the same 20 items to the same address. Each one from their personal phone. The app Instacart gave everyone different prices After researching they found 3 different prices were available for everyday items like cereal, adjusted based on your data After being caught Instacart denied they were using dynamic pricing but announced they were no longer going to adjust prices based on data But that’s one company, this video goes into great detail showing it’s coming everywhere

“Surge Pricing” in American grocery stores has arrived Kroger partnered with Microsoft to introduce AI-powered technologies for personalized pricing “Kroger just rolled out surge pricing using facial recognition technology: - Determine the maximum price of goods customers are willing to pay - Kroger has the ability to change the prices of their products depending on the facial image of the person buying them - Depending on the image of the person buying the product, they can access our information and dictate that price - Can also use our image to determine how often we buy certain products and increase the price of that product - Dynamic pricing in grocery stores could resemble the airline industry's ticket pricing strategies “This could lead to discriminatory practices using AI as a scapegoat to charge people of different races, different socioeconomic status, different family sizes, and different dietary restrictions different prices for the same products that they are buying” (Kroger, the largest grocery chain in the U.S., denied claims that ESLs would be used for surge pricing, insisting its pricing strategy aims to lower costs for consumers. "To be clear, Kroger does not and has never engaged in 'surge pricing.' Any test of electronic shelf tags is designed to lower prices for more customers where it matters most”) … Yeah right

Rubio: A cost needs to be imposed on Iran for what they are doing. Otherwise, if they get away with this without paying a price for it and backing down. You're going to see multiple places around the world where other countries are going to be tempted to do the same.

The AI surveillance economy is already here, and most people don’t even know it. Big Tech didn’t just steal our data to violate our privacy. They sold off our data so other companies could charge us higher prices. It is called 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 where companies now use our data to charge us the maximum price we’re willing to pay. In this AI capitalist surveillance economy, individual customers pay different prices for the exact same goods and services.

You use it clearly. You're using it to generate the prices” He confirms they are using algorithms for pricing

Trump just ended this scam, effectively reducing drug prices for Americans by as much as 80%. “Why are we allowing Big Pharma to charge Americans $1,000 a month for some drugs that the same manufacturers charge people in Denmark $50 a month for… the same drug?” —Megyn Kelly

Well the order was over $30, so you click it. It makes you re-add the cart to get the promo. But now everything is more expensive That order that was $30 now costs you over $40 This is a form of of dynamic or what’s known as “stealth pricing” The “free delivery” bait gets you to the threshold, but the overall cost rises due to inflated item prices This is a scam (Proof shown in video)

Michigan Senator Mallory McMorrow reveals companies are using dynamic algorithmic pricing to charge Americans more based on your data She says this is even being used to increase rents - A $240 flight to Florida increased to $423 because you looked twice - Uber pricing doubled because phone battery was below 20% “Usually it's about 18 bucks, but oh, the app knows that your phone battery is low, so it's double the price. Companies are using algorithmic pricing tools to study your personal data and charge you exactly what they think you'll pay. This is called surveillance pricing, and it means that companies can charge you completely different prices for the exact same thing, and it's not just happening to consumers. Some companies are now using similar algorithms to track workers and decide their wages, hours, and schedules, even their locations — My plan bans companies from setting personalized prices based on your data — It protects all workers, including gig workers and contractors from algorithmic wage discrimination, and it cracks down on companies using these systems to coordinate things like higher rents and insurance premiums, because the economy shouldn't be a rigged game.”

Americans can’t afford to live anymore This American went shopping and just a few small bags of groceries cost $500. Prices of many items have tripled from not that long ago “What is this? I am pissed — I hate it here. I hate it here. I hate it here” People need to understand this happened under Joe Biden, prices for grocery items went up on average 23.1% and many items much more than that This means a $200 grocery store trip would cost $246 for the same exact items, likely more By comparison Trump’s 12 month inflation rate for food is only 2.2%, he’s been able to slow it down drastically The answer is not to hire back in the same party who caused the problem. The answer is to give more time to Donald Trump to keep reversing it

She says she has pet insurance for her dog, she pays about $1,000 per year in New Jersey She called to update the address, the new price for the exact same coverage is almost half price “Our yearly cost for his insurance in New Jersey was going to be $1,086, so that's roughly $90 a month. I gave them my updated address and they came back to me and they were like, okay, same exact coverage, same exact policy, same exact dog, $690, cut the price nearly in half, just in a different state. It is absolutely unaffordable to live here anymore”
