14. caste system on a chip
Edited on Sun Mar-19-06 05:21 PM by slaveplanet
Once the system is fully functional, and all retail checkers are eliminated. The possibility exists to have a certain class, receive a level of discount down to practically no charge. While the "inferior" class will be shouldered with the ever increasing full advertised price or full advertised "sale" price in order to balance the offset given to the "superior" class. You will never know if the person in front of you is paying the same price for the same items.
This is ONLY possible with a full RFID, but they are already running prototype schemes with the shopper cards.

Buying everything will be like how we now buy insurance. Everything from your past will be taken into account in order to determine the final price.
