Grocery chains ready to implement “surveillance pricing” for customers

Hope — Thu, 21 May 2026 14:00:00 +0000

According to a report from The New York Times, grocery stores in New York City could soon face new restrictions on using shoppers’ personal data to charge individualized prices for everyday items like bananas or milk.

The practice, known as surveillance pricing, allows retailers to adjust costs based on data such as shopping history, location, or online behavior — potentially resulting in one customer paying significantly more than another for the identical product.

With food prices already straining household budgets in high-cost areas like New York, city officials are pushing urgent legislation to curb the tactic.

On Thursday, City Council Speaker Julie Menin and Councilman Shaun Abreu from northern Manhattan are set to introduce separate bills targeting these dynamic pricing strategies.

Menin’s proposal would impose a broad ban on surveillance pricing across the five boroughs. Abreu’s measure would limit retail food stores, including groceries and bodegas, from raising prices more than once within a 24-hour period.

“It’s actually hard to detect if you’re the victim of surveillance pricing,” Ms. Menin said. “Which then makes it more imperative than ever that we legislate this practice, because this is very difficult to detect for consumers.”

The city efforts build on state-level action. The One Fair Price Package, backed strongly by Attorney General Letitia James, includes measures to ban surveillance pricing both online and in physical stores, with some exceptions. It is expected to advance before the end of the legislative session.

Similar data-driven pricing has already appeared in ride-sharing, air travel, and health care, as well as online grocery delivery platforms. Advocates warn that expanding it to in-store shopping could exacerbate affordability challenges for New Yorkers already grappling with inflation.

Grocery store now using facial recognition and biometric data against its own customers

Hope — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 21:00:13 +0000

“This Business collects, retains, converts, stores, or shares customers’ biometric identifier information,” reads a sign outside of Fairway.

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — Fairway recently posted a sign outside of its Upper West Side store that states the business is using facial and voice recognition technology.

“This Business collects, retains, converts, stores, or shares customers’ biometric identifier information, which is information that can be used to identify or help identify you,” the sign posted to the front door at Broadway and West 74th Street reads. “Examples of biometric identifier information are eye scans and voiceprints.”

Wakefern Food Corporation, the parent company of Fairway, did not respond to a call from Patch, but it sent a statement about the technology to ILoveTheUpperWestSide, which was the first publication to report on the technology within the incredibly popular UWS store.

“This technology is helping our stores reduce retail crime, an industry-wide challenge that has increased dramatically over the last few years,” Karen O’Shea, a spokeswoman for Wakefern, told ILoveTheUpperWestSide. “Only trained asset protection associates use the system, which helps us focus attention on repeat shoplifters.”

Businesses that use facial recognition technology are legally required to post signage to inform patrons.

Wakefern told ILoveTheUpperWestSide that signage was posted, but when it visited the grocer on Sunday and Monday it did not find any signs mentioning the technology. On Tuesday morning, though, the signage was now posted to the front door.

Patch could not confirm if the sign was posted somewhere else in the store previously.

A spokesperson from Wakefern had previously confirmed to the New York Times on Friday that the location in Chelsea at 766 Sixth Ave. also used the facial recognition technology.

A person walking out of the Upper West Side Fairway on Tuesday morning told Patch that the news of the technology at the business was “worrying to learn about.”
