    I wonder whether it ever occurs to normies that surrendering PII in order to transact amounts to hidden cost inflation

      Would it make a difference if they did? Here in the UK every supermarket has a loyalty card scheme. I held out for a long time but eventually I simply couldn’t afford to pay the effective 20% premium for not using it

        Depends on what value you place on your consumption data. I’d argue the scheme participants are the ones paying a premium.
