I'll suggest that. Seriously. Doubt anyone will listen of course.
Can't imagine it's easy to do without picking plenty of false positives, so I guess it wouldn't fly.
(When I worked in catering we occasionally had to make up for items that weren't delivered in time, so buying 24 cucumbers in one go or even supplies like toilet rolls. You wouldn't want someone who runs a food bank or soup kitchen to get dinged because they just happened to go and buy the usual bulk of pasta or 144 toilet rolls, etc).
Thank goodness!
(Hatred of wanky IT terms aside, it's good to see supermarkets are looking to do something about this.)
I remember the bad weather around Christmas 2009 when supermarkets were unable to do all of their deliveries. We got ours after a few phone calls but it was mostly due to my wife being almost 9 months pregnant.
After this has all eventually blown over I hope supermarkets will also do enough data mining to work out which of its customers were utter utter cunts during this time. (Either determining stockpiling or landgrabbing delivery slots.) They can be punished with targeted special offers for odd items or items they probably have cupboards full of already.
