Bar Ran Dun posted:There is a large variation on many items from stores in rich areas to stores in poor areas between the same store. From one qfc to another within 30 miles of each other prices on single items can be up to 200% higher in the richer area. So then regional managers try to maximize their bottom line with the only variables they can control, while top level management doesn't realize what's up and that they need to either unfuck their algorithm or murder the regional managers because they're disconnected from the tactical picture? Is that about right?

Owling Howl posted:Seems like it would be trivially easy for the c-suite to alter or disregard any algorithm if they wantt to raise prices - they implemented it in the first place. What I was trying to get at was that the C-suite may be sufficiently out of touch that they're at cross purposes with regional or store managers and don't know it. It happens sometimes, like when the Sears CEO set up departments to compete with each other, not realizing that incentivized sabotage rather than just maximizing sales. Basically, if stores are being set up to fail, it's not a given senior leadership knows about it. At the very least, we know there's some kind of dysfunction because stores are locking up underwear, so we can't assume everyone knows what they should.

Ime you only get nastygrams if you torrent poo poo that a major company currently cares about, eg big name, ongoing shows, movies recently added to streaming. You can torrent obscure black metal and 80s movies all the live long day without anyone caring, VPN or no.
