The bill targets a system whereby retailers can use technology to adjust prices throughout the day or show different prices to different customers, especially in online shopping.

My store of choice, Meijer's, often has sale prices only available for those enrolled in their "m-perks" program. You must enter your info before checking out to get the sale prices.
