People seem pretty

September 7, 2000 by Michael Boyle

outraged about this story from Wired News: Online Prices Not Created Equal. If only such outrage were brought to pricing issues in the offline world. For years poverty activists have decried grocery stores’ pricing practices – for instance charging higher prices in poor neighbourhoods than in wealthy ones for groceries. Different people have always received different prices, depending on the store. Amazon is just bringing an old practice to a new world. I can’t get that worked up about it.
