New job: poor person personal shopper. Someone with a "poor" profile follows you around the store so you can use their quoted prices instead of your own. Or travel agents that only book flights for you using early-2000s flip phones, shielding clients from the iPhone premium price.

The "poor" people would be getting the raw end of the deal - their profile would soon become "wealthy" and they'd have to pay more themselves.

Poor people always get screwed over the most, desperate people are easy to take advantage of and there will always be there to exploit them.

I recall an article on personalized pricing that had it reversed - the poor pricing is actually higher, bc it's harder to buy more at bulk rate / shop around / just not buy it (discretionary).
