BIG GROCER IS WATCHING 1. TRUE - Some supermarket chains are collecting and selling massive troves of shopper data, and some are using cameras with facial recognition software. 'Just this please' 'Are you a member of our rewards program?' 'No...' 2. 'Have you downloaded our app? You'll get instant digital coupons!' 'No, I really just want to make a one-time purchase.' 3. 'OK. Our in-store camera has already identified you as Liz Crumpet of 24 Poplar Street.' 'But just for good measure, I'm going to insist on a retina scan.' 4. CONSUMER DATA HQ 'Another tense one.' 'Put the CHILLAXIN' QUEEN HERBAL TEA in her Instagram feed.'
