Mark Zuckerburg is deciding the price of meat at my local Brazilian grocery store!
While cruising Supermercado (supermarket) Zona Sul, I saw that a great promotion on filet mignon. It was a brand that is normally quite expensive but with the discount was definitely worth the purchase. I grabbed the goods and went on shopping.
I finished up grabbing the odds and ends on my list and headed to the checkout line. I watched as she scanned the "on sale" meat. It did not show my discount. I pointed it out to her and she said it must not be on sale then. That kind of thing annoys me so I told her I no longer wanted it and maybe she should have someone go take the promotional sign down.
Upon further investigation, we were both wrong. Apparently there is a Facebook page for Zona Sul and if you are friends with them you get special discounts! I was horrified! These people are on Facebook and they are not my friends nor have they liked my blog?! That's it, they aren't allowed to scan my bread, butter, and deli meat any longer.
Seriously though, I was quite surprised. Facebook discounts for filet mignon. Random! Of course I looked for the group, community, or whatever else it could be on and it is nowhere to be found.
Have you heard of this? Do you know where the page is?
And more importantly, are we ok with Facebook taking over the world? Personally, it makes me a little nervous.
