    And then it does what, at the checkout? Like… what if I go to a real person?

      If the computer tracking you around the store can see where you are it can find you in the checkout line and attach the price amounts you saw as you put items in your cart.

      It’s creepy and sounds ridiculous but it’s happening in the US.

        No, it doesn’t sound ridiculous at all. They’ve been tracking us with our phones for years already. That’s why you get ads for the pizza place across the street from the bank you use.
