Wife was taking Wegovy. In the same class but specifically meant for weight-loss. She felt sick most the time on it, but it does work.

No, it can’t
>debit card ending in 6969 purchased Ozempic at pharmacy >debit card ending in 6969 purchased $200 of food, 5% less than they did last month They don't have to know anything about the specific person to correlate data they likely already have in their POS system.
HIPAA violation

#74It's somehow Ozempic and not the always rising, already high prices for everything required for daily life?
Also that consumers are increasingly aware of how atrocious the American diet is and want to eat food that's made out of food, not just endlessly processed nutrient-void corn covered in fucking sugar.
Is this speculation or you live seen large shifts in consumer sentiment that coincide with Ozempic?

Taking compounded tirzepatide ($6000/yr for 15 mg/wk) and lost ~120 lbs. Ironically, sugar tastes a lot stronger, and food generally tastes better, but I don't want as much. Haven't seen any other changes or improvements.

#76Ozempic is like $800 a month, do the people spending that also go to Walmart?
there's plenty of people who buy groceries at wal-mart not by choice, but because wal-mart is the only grocery store in their suburb.
I’ve been living in Quartzsite, AZ, for the last 3 months, and we don’t even have a Walmart. The closest one is a 45-minute drive away.

You don’t think Walmart’s pharmacy data can be correlated to the same customer’s shopping habits?
No, it can’t
Come on now.
Can’t? Really?
Maaaybe it’s against some law or privacy policy or mandatory annual training.
But do you honestly believe companies follow laws and policies if they think they can get away with not?
And even if you can ignore that corporations are regularly -publicly- wrist-slapped for failings in those areas and still believe they are virtuous, privacy-respecting, law-abiding entities (rofl) … are you ready to argue that no executive or other employee ever, (knowingly or unknowingly) uses data to run a calculation or check a theory against published policy?
The only thing that surprises me about the above scenarios is there’s a human alive who would believe their improbabl3a let alone, as “can’t” would imply, impossible.

I don't think you've worked in the medical industry, or you'd know just how big of a deal HIPAA is.

#79> An increasing number of CEOs and investors are talking about how popular weight-loss drugs might change the economy and business. Earlier this week, the CEO of the maker of Pringles and Cheez-Its said the company is studying their potential impact on dietary behaviors. “Like everything that potentially impacts our business, we’ll look at it, study it and, if necessary, mitigate,” Steve Cahillane, the CEO of Kellano…
I'm on Zepbound, and it's clear there's going to be a day when grease, salt, and carbs will no longer run the world in 20 years when these drugs (and the mechanical injector) go off patent. If I could invest in a 20 year short in the fast/junk food companies, I would easily do so.

There’s a difference between them having a record of your purchase and them accessing that record for business analysis reasons. If Walmart operated a medical clinic, would you comfortable with their corporate data scientists accessing your health records?
I’m: not comfortable with merchants knowing what I purchase.
The merchants have a right to know what they sell; it is the same data.
You can (and should) always pay cash anyway. Then they know what is sold, but not to whom.
