4. I can't believe this could even be legal.

So, can Walmart or Aldi or Food Lion change the price of a loaf of bread based on data they have of your past purchases?

Something sounds pretty fishy to me. And I would hope that they are boycotted until they realize that is absolutely despicable.

As an aside, I remember questioning human resources about the increase in our health insurance premiums. I asked why the premium couldn’t be a percentage of income, instead of a straight charge. An employee making $100K a year pays the same as someone making minimum wage. She said that isn’t allowed because you can’t charge different amounts of money for the same “Product”. I remember hating the use of the word Product, but that’s what our premiums are. A product to be purchased.

so, how can delta do this??
