In this Geo&Geo interview, host Speaker A talks with Massimiliano Dona, President of the Unione Nazionale Consumatori and author of Il carrello dalla parte del manico, about how loyalty cards are used by retailers to collect detailed consumer data and to influence buying behaviour. Dona explains the historical evolution of fidelity cards, the way they enable segmentation and profiling, and warns consumers about hidden costs and data‑sharing risks. The discussion moves to the reality of supermarket offers, distinguishing genuine discounts (price‑reduction law, “sottocosto”) from marketing tricks such as inflated “old prices”. Dona describes how store layout, product placement, lighting, and background music are deliberately designed to increase basket size and shorten shopping time, drawing parallels with casino design. Practical tips are offered: read the legal price‑change information, focus on genuine clearance items, avoid unnecessary points‑collection schemes, protect personal data when signing up for cards, and adopt a shopping strategy that starts at the back of the store to prevent impulse purchases. The interview blends consumer‑rights advocacy with behavioural‑economics insights, aiming to empower shoppers to spend smarter and more sustainably.
