  • Is it just me, or is anyone else worried/annoyed/infuriated by the rise of 'Clubcard Prices', 'Nectar Prices' and the like?

    I keep a pretty good track of prices in my head, and from what I could see, 'Clubcard Prices' weren't lower than the usual prices elsewhere.  It was simply an opportunity to put 'normal' prices up, by quite a percentage.

    Harmless enough, until every other member of the supermarket cartel joins in of course.

    To me it feels very much like 'Give us your loyalty, or you'll pay extra for everything'.

    Since when has blackmail been an acceptable business model?
