Big Data, empty bellies: How supermarkets tweak prices just for the sake of YOUR LOVE

Because they ARE discounters. They've taken the big box approach, but scaled it down somewhat. Stacks of the bulk cartons instead of proper shelves, no staff for bagging, etc.

My dad shops there because he loves pinching pennies. But the very first time I accompanied him into the store he turned to me and said "You have to check the dates on everything because they don't always remove the expired items." His first job was as a stock boy at the local grocery store, so failure to properly rotate stock irritates him to no end.
