Klobuchar Statement on Instacart Ending Dynamic Pricing

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ranking Member on the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law, released the following statement on Instacart announcing it will end its practice of charging some customers more than others for the same products. This follows Klobuchar leading a group of seven other Senators in
calling for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate
Instacart’s dynamic pricing.
“Grocery prices are already too high—Americans shouldn’t be forced to pay even more because companies use artificial intelligence to inflate prices. I called on the FTC to investigate Instacart’s use of dynamic pricing to charge customers more for the same product because it is wrong and deceptive. Customers deserve fair prices and real competition to lower costs.”
