Some supermarkets also have predatory practices to coerce people into using their data harvesting programs.

Like you pay £1.5 for essential product if you scan a card otherwise it is £3.

These should be made illegal.

It's not even about the data harvesting, it's because the £1.50 is a "promotional" price and that means they no longer need to display the unit price.
