My grocery store wants to know my BMI
(lemmy.world)
If they were interested in my location they could request location data. What are the odds they are doing this to directly market products to people based on health data?
Inb4 “They already do that based on what you regularly purchase”
Of course, yes they do. This appears to be one more layer on top of it. And surely they wouldn’t share that information with the pharmacy, right?
I've never had any of those problems. Apps are not smoother than the web in general, they just are probably better at hiding latency and content loading process.
Also when I'm inside a grocery store, I don't need an app or the website to find things since I can just walk over to them or ask an employee where the product is.
The thing about "general" is that means there are exceptions. Also, I pretty much never see employees walking around the store.
