Programmed shopping using trained cellphone users

It's being reported that a new method of "programmed" shopping is
being used. People are getting paid to walk around department stores,
before the Christmas holiday and follow customers to "program" their
purchases by constanly mentioning specific product names to remind the
customers of these products. What is actually being done is a form of
subliminal brainwashing. For example, the cell user follows a
customer who has toys in their cart, and starts a long discussion
about Barbie Dolls The cell user speaks extremely loud. The cell
user is actually speaking to someone at the main office who tells the
cell user exactly what to say, based on the customers actions. The
cell user sends photos of the customer and using numerical touch codes
sends specific traits and actions of the shopper. The cell user is
instructed to approach the shopper at specific locations in the store
to irritate them enough to make them move away and head toward the
intended object to be purchased. All of the shoppers moves and
actions are being sent via the cellphone to a master computer at the
company, and the computer determines the next move the shopper will
make, based on compiled data. Each shopper is first analyzed and
matched with a database of several thousand traits, which includes
movements, appearance, mood, dispostion, mannerisms, and more. Then
the shopper is placed into one of a few dozen catagories and the
analysis takes place. From here, it's up to the cell user to
"program" the shopper to make the desired purchase. It should be
known that the cell users are often intentionally irritating shoppers
on purpose just to achieve the desired purchases. The cell user is
not just trying to program the shopper to one purchase, but has a list
of many, which the master computer determines what the shopper would
buy.

Next time you have someone follow you in a store, using a cellphone,
BEWARE. They may be programming your shopping.

I don't think they would get very far with me... I know what I want to buy
before going to the store, have a list, and head straight for those areas.
Then I get what I need and am gone!

However I do know a couple of women that this would work with. These are the
types who go "shopping" and will spend two hours in a store - make a day of
it!

I refuse to go to the store with these females, and I ESPECIALLY will not go
shoe shopping with them!

These females can't make up their minds. They will stick something in their
shopping cart, then later put it back on the shelf - deciding that they
don't want it after all. So I could see where it would be easy to get them
to put something in their cart, but getting them to keep it in the cart
would be a challenge...

Really? Where is this "being reported"? I can't find a
single word about it in Google Groups, News or Web search.
Except for your posting, of course.

I'll at least give you credit for coming up with a just barely
amusing conspiracy theory. "Master computer" indeed. Teehee.

On the other hand, there does seem to be this sort of "programmed cellphone
user" but not in the way he means it.

The first time I noticed it might have been as long ago as a decade.
I was going to buy a muffin at a muffin stand, and right in front of
me was a woman selecting muffins. But she was on the phone. As I
waited while she made her large selection, I realized she was getting
orders right there, live, over the phone.

So at least some of that cellphone use in the grocery store, what
remains when you take away the people just making conversation, is
surely about being controlled by a third party about what they should
buy. "Okay honey, now you go down the next aisle and you can get
the pancake mix and the syrup, and then a bit further down a 2.5Kg
bag of whole wheat flour, the house brand is fine, no no it has the
name of the grocery store on it...." In other words, the person
at the other end knows the store, knows what needs to be bought,
but the "shopper" is acting only under their commands.
