My weirdest Amazon experience was when I went to Lowe’s and bought a drill bit and a pair of cabinet door hinges, and just looked at cabinet pulls for a minute or two - didn’t buy any or even pick any up. That night, Amazon recommended for me drill bits, cabinet door hinges … and cabinet pulls. I’m assuming that I got linked to in-store footage from Lowe’s, which is creepy but certainly not suprising.

Your phone’s Wi-Fi told them exactly where in the store you were. That’s how they knew what you were looking at.

Is Lowe’s like a physical amazon store?

  They’re not in any way associated with Amazon, as far as I know. But apparently they sell their customer data to them - and immediately.

    That is pretty scummy.
