or how scuffed a piece of fruit is

That's why I support it so much. I want these businesses selling a weekly food delivery in exactly one week.

I don't want them skimping and they're out of stock when I shop, or they only have old stuff because they have too much.

And the businesses want that too

yep, and you can get good PR by reducing food waste or w/e

since that's some people's pet issue

the new barcode system they're rolling out will probably help with that

they're replacing all legacy barcodes with QR codes starting next year

and they will be item-specific, rather than product-specific

I am probably more financially frugal than most people here, I won't gp out of my way an hour plus got a better deal, but I do just stock up on things when it is a good deal

my local grocery store stickers all their items between 40-65% off depending on how much they think they can get away with charging for it to sell it before they have to throw it out, so I get a lot of heavily marked down stuff and just freeze it

I also just go to my store semi daily (its a 5 minute walk) and buy absolutely nothing if nothing is stickered for a price I am willing to spend lol

I am 75% sure there is legislation against dynamic pricing in ontario

Either that or I have just not noticved it

they do it for gas I assume

since everywhere does

Gas yeah

grocery specific I meant

Every store I go to advertises their prices once a week, and that is the price it stays that week

and other than sales, I have not noticed prices change much week over week

we have weekly mailers too, but prices definitely change day-to-day, even the non-dynamic priced places

if the butcher is selling stock slower than expected, etc.

Yeah, I think day to day does not happen here, at least I've never noticed it

it's just less granular

and I am the prime person to notice it, because I do just go every day

and look at the same stuff every time I go

interesting if its really set for an entire week

Okay, there are bills in first reading banning it, it is not formally banned

I just think the stores I go to are doing it

not being allowed to adjust daily seems like an overcorrection (I think NYC is banning that too)

We also have pretty good consumer protection laws already anyways, since if the price you ring up does not agree with the price it was advertising, the store is legally obligated to give you the item free, or 10 dollars off, whichever is less money

but I'm with mtcdood, I don't see a real issue with it, until it starts to get ridiculous

Grocery stores are already price gouging all their products here, so I am against it

fuck you if you want to nickle and dime me more than your price gouging

and I think you could limit it to interday pricing being ±20% of the price at open

that would be a reasonable way to legislate it

Here, they'd have to make it so it is impossible for the price to change between you picking the item up and paying for it

otherwise it was cause lawsuits over compliance

wdym by compliance?

you see the price when you check out

the price you pay, legally, has to match the price it advertised when you grabbed it

checkout price is not the standard for that

its advertised

then outfit carts with on-board scanners like they do at some stores

so if they were changing it, and they were called on changing it, they would have to give it for 10 dollars off legally right now, the way the law is written

(or just use your phone)

Costco, Target, Sams Club, gas stations, and more have started doing that here

Nothing like that exists here. If they try that, that might work as compliance

but no such thing exists now, and they'd have to lock the price at what you scan it as
