I have received a coupon in the voucher pack sent me by tesco and I can't decide whether its good big data or bad big data in use.

They clearly know what everyone purchases regally and promote offers and marketing plans around keeping you shopping, but I also received a 'free type 2 diabetes check' upto a certain date at 'tesco pharmacy'

Is this them saying I need to be more cautious of the stuff Im buying from them thats filled with c rap purely for the purposes of enterprise.
or
Is it pure blanket marketing c rap just to get people in their establishments that have homogenised every sector?

it's the latter, don't believe for one second they care about your health  Laugh

I doubt they do either, but the whole point of big data is to use it for potential gain.
Might building trust with a customer by highlighting such issues set them apart from the rest and be one of the goals of a more informed business plan?

I agree it probably is too deep for them to think that way but its a novel concept.

Go and have your diabetes test, oh and don't forget to do your shopping while you're there.
Every little helps.

johnizere, you have'nt used the tesco slogan ironically, facaetiously, insultingly, or in any other worthwhile sense : you have used it straight, you dumb sap.    You cannot have intended that

ah, having a sly chuckle there I see : not enough confidence in your own material to be loud and proud? To condemn or endorse?

being funny is actually really difficult, as almost everyone who tries it fails comfortably

Nothing wrong with Tesco Desperatemunter. It's a retailer, it's your choice to shop there or not. It's your choice to buy c rap or good basic produce, Tesco offer that choice. You can even buy broccoli there but you might find it cheaper at the German discounters.
The clubcard is their tool for collecting data and target marketing, again the customer has a choice and most choose to use it.
I endorse not condemn them.
