How “customer obsession” could land you in legal trouble
- Customer obsession, a common practice in product organizations, involves linking decisions to user research and feedback to build products tailored to market preferences.
- However, customer obsession can create power imbalances, allowing companies to use behavioral data to manipulate user decisions through dark patterns, as seen in tactics like misleading UI designs.
- An example of this is highlighted at McDonald's, where meal pricing remains the same regardless of the drink size chosen, leading to consumer irritation and exploitation of customer vulnerability.
- Such exploitative UX practices raise legal questions, with consumer protection laws struggling to keep pace with the complexities of online retail and dark patterned UX.
- Entities like the FTC have started scrutinizing digital designs for unfair or deceptive practices, leading to legal actions against companies like Fashion Nova and H&R Block for misleading consumers.
- Consumers are seeking recourse through false advertising law, as evidenced by cases like Target facing a $5 million settlement for artificially low pricing tactics.
- Proposed legislation, such as the DETOUR Act introduced by Senator Mark Warner, aims to address manipulative user interfaces that impair user decision-making and autonomy, potentially impacting digital design practices.
- The legal landscape is evolving to address exploitative practices in customer obsession, emphasizing the need for a more ethical and legally compliant approach in product organizations.
- As legal frameworks adapt to address dark patterns in customer obsession, companies are urged to reevaluate their practices to align with evolving consumer protection laws and standards.

I tried 5 fast-food fish sandwiches and ranked them from worst to best
- Fish sandwiches are a popular spring offering at fast-food chains, timed with Lent when Catholics eat fish on Fridays.
- McDonald's Filet-O-Fish was introduced in the 1960s and became a permanent menu item due to high demand.
- Since then, other fast-food chains like Burger King, Wendy's, and Popeyes have added fish sandwiches during Lent.
- Popeyes entered the fish sandwich market successfully, capitalizing on its spicy chicken sandwich's popularity.

- Burger King's Big Fish sandwich was enjoyable but could have had more tartar sauce and a flakier fish patty.
- Popeyes' classic flounder fish sandwich impressed with its crispy patty, tartar sauce, and pickles on a brioche bun.
- McDonald's Filet-O-Fish featured a generous serving of tartar sauce and a flaky fish patty, winning high praise.

‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners
- Many individuals in the UK who cannot or choose not to use mobile apps, like Michael in his late 50s, feel penalized for their decision, despite owning a smartphone.
- Apps have become ubiquitous, offering convenience with one-click access, push notifications, and enhanced security features, leading to a surge in digital exclusion for those without smartphones.
- Digital exclusion and pro-cash campaigners argue that millions unable to afford smartphones or access certain services are being deprived of discounts, deals, and essential services.
- The rise of app-exclusive deals presents challenges to individuals such as missing out on loyalty scheme benefits, savings, and rewards from retailers like Lidl, Asda, Boots, Greggs, Asos, and Screwfix.
- The app trend extends to essential services like parking, causing inconvenience for many, especially the elderly, leading to concerns over accessibility and equal participation.
- The offer of exclusive deals and rewards via apps extends to sectors such as entertainment venues, where mobile apps have become the primary method for ticket access.
- In the food and beverage industry, app-only deals and loyalty schemes by chains like McDonald's, Subway, Sizzling Pubs, and Harris + Hoole exclude non-app users from attractive discounts and rewards.
- App-only banking services, offering competitive savings rates, are increasingly popular, with app-based providers like Atom Bank, Chip, and Plum attracting savers with high-interest accounts.
- Traditional banks like HSBC also introduce app-only services, like the Global Money service, signaling a shift towards digital banking exclusively accessible through mobile apps.
