ok I re-read that

ohhhhh

there were self-checkouts

Pika, I'm going to call bullshit, when we went to a grocery store to buy Regi a cake

I like it because it means no annoying checkout/self-checkout line

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

(or just use your phone)

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

you see the price when you check out

wdym by compliance?

that would be a reasonable way to legislate it

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

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

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

interesting if its really set for an entire week

it's just less granular

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

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

since everywhere does

they do it for gas I assume

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

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

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

since that's some people's pet issue

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

or how scuffed a piece of fruit is

if you can mark down food based on how long its been on the shelf, that's a net positive imo

I'm a big proponent in prices dropping as food degrades in quality

dynamic pricing also helps them actually work through inventory

but I'm not going to obsess over the margins

I'm not going to shop somewhere if I know I'm being raped on prices compared to Amazon

"it was on sale for 75% off, I'd be stupid to not buy it"

where it's more about how good of an equity buy something is

especially non-food shopping

some people REALLY hate the idea that they are missing out on saving a cent

I have 4 major grocery stores near me, and I know people who will do a loop and visit all 4 to get the cheapest items from each

If I don't have to price-check whether a store is raping me while I shop, I'll put up with a lot

perfect time for a mid-season recap ep

we need a Retard party

Also, since everyone is spinning up new 'r' parties Reform, Reclaim, Restore, Resist, Rejoin, etc.

We did not get the funniest result

Look at this ridiculous thing

If anyone has too much desk space

toe-made-a not toe-maut-uh

unless they are correct and say tomata

I hear it with toppings a lot "want lettece and toma(t)o?" Kribbles Also tweny for sure, but tomato is too hard to mumble through without saying the second t (edited)
