Exploding spectacularly in Delta's face in 3, 2, 1...
Is it? Don't the websites already look at if you've visited before and other things to offer different pricing? And people have griped about it but has anything been done?
It should explode, I just don't think it is or will.
It'd be nice if there was some type of regulation to prevent all this "dynamic pricing" bullshit. Instead I'm just waiting for it to hit grocery stores, because why not.
It might can hit online shopping, but it is not practical to hit stores - at least not with the recent scares and rumours of some stores trying to do on-shelf dynamic pricing.
