8 days agoThis kind of stuff is inevitable with capitalism, in their continuing effort to make human workers obsolete and save money it makes perfect sense to replace static paper displays with digital ones. I would assume the only reason they didn’t do it any soon is the up front costs.
Dynamic pricing is of course a real concern, but its not like you can’t do dynamic pricing with paper labels, it just takes more effort (and so the prices will probably reflect that as they change). It’s neat how we call it “dynamic pricing” now. but like when it happens in other places its called Hyperinflation, are there still some people foolish enough to think “dynamic” means it could go down also?
Typically they’d just use a price gun like this:
Dynamic pricing doesn’t mean individualized pricing per person, it just means deciding to set higher prices in the locations in poor parts of town, setting prices for things like meat and fresh produce at the start of the day or week, the frequency really doesn’t matter you could set prices hourly if you wanted to dedicate an employee or 2 to it.
