在零售、旅游、餐饮等多个领域,一些公司正在对同一产品和服务向消费者收取不同的价格。
Across retail, travel, food and more, some companies are charging consumers different prices for the same products and services.
新书《被宰:公平价格的终结及其对你钱包的影响》的作者林赛·欧文斯表示,公司通过“价格实验”(在客户之间随机改变价格)以及“监控或个性化定价”(根据你的数据收取价格)来多收费用,以图增加利润。NBC的维基·阮为TODAY节目报道了此事。
Lindsay Owens, author of the new book “Gouged: The End of a Fair Price and What That Menas for Your Wallet,” says companies overcharge by using “price experiments” where they change randomly between customers and some also use “surveillance or personalized pricing” where they charge prices based on your data all to increase profits.
