"If you linger in front of the poultry but don't buy, maybe you'll find an offer for $1 off a chicken breast when you enter the store next time."
That sounds useful. I often meet someone I know in the supermarket and spend a few minutes having a conversation in some random part of the shop. If they start this, we'll just have to make sure the conversation is near somewhere we'd later like a discount. Like standing in front of the electricals or kitchen gadgets for a 5-10 minute conversation two weeks in a row. It'll all be dumb algorithms anyway so should be fairly easy to game the system by spending 10-15 mins of my life to get a £30 discount off a new food processor or microwave. Or £50 off a TV. :-)
