      They set up a loyalty program like you would have for any grocery store, which helps with inventory control, and these people think it’s an ID verification system.

        Hope they also use that to limit the quantity of food you can buy each month. Like max 5 liters of oil or so, to avoid people that bought to resell.

          I don’t think that it’s going to matter if they do. The very fact that they are offering groceries at a lower price will put pressure on grocery businesses to shave their margins, which are already quite large due to “inflation”. (These places posted insane profits in the years since tte pandemic started, and even more after it was declared over).

      They’ve been complaining about voter ID and being dunked on for making the argument that you need ID to buy groceries and now the Mamdani grocery stores require a membership ID
