My grocery store wants to know my BMI
(lemmy.world)
If they were interested in my location they could request location data. What are the odds they are doing this to directly market products to people based on health data?
Inb4 “They already do that based on what you regularly purchase”
Of course, yes they do. This appears to be one more layer on top of it. And surely they wouldn’t share that information with the pharmacy, right?
I brought up OTC drugs to help make my point that the pharmacy and grocery store are the same.
I brought up prescription drugs to help make my point that they probably aren't.
Pretty arrogant to assume they're different companies when you don't even know what stores I'm talking about...
Here's an example of a grocery chain/pharmacy company: https://www.kroger.com/health/pharmacy
They even have gas stations. Costco is another example, but they do a lot more than groceries (automotive work, etc). Not sure why you think one store can't offer multiple services?
