these gonna get hacked…
I will buy that for a dollar. (no really lettuce for a $1 is worth the hack)
If they want to do dynamic pricing, maybe we’ll just have to start dynamic shopping.
What’s the common way for updating these? I have some similar devices that use Wi-Fi but local stores seem to use some sort of nearby transmitter pointex towards the shelves, maybe infrared/optical
My local store can not even get a reliable source of staple foods (the distributor often shorts them milk, meat or whatever), there is no way this:
A) Works
B) Is adopted by any non large store
C) Is accepted as anything but a hated cash grab
Or they could charge a customer more if they know the customer always buys the same product.
How so they propose changing an e-ink shelf label per customer??
Probably more timed towards certain times and demographics, but yeah it just takes a couple seconds to update and there are plenty of customers running “loyalty points apps”
If this happens, I will absolutely try to figure out how to game it
Bring items to self checkout. Scans as fast as possible. Walks out with a 20% dynamic discount.
Great, I have a very bad feeling about this, given the possible crisis of 2026.
remember if you see someone shoplifting food no the fuck you didnt
Man would really suck if internet cuts out to get updates when its at the lowest prices…
It is morally correct to shoplift from stores that do this.
I’m going to start dynamic payments. “Oh, between 6-9pm I pay 10% less.”
Already here in Canada.
Portland banned it for housing. Time to ban it for everything else!

Start pushing your state gov to ban this.
