It would be a shame if people took digital labels off the shelf then stood on them then had to ask an employee the price for everything. Just saying. We don't have to accept everthing.

Wo sind eigentlich die ganzen Screenshots, wenn die KWh 53 Cent kostet? 🤐
Während die „Experten“ heute die Waschmaschine bewachen, läuft bei mir alles wie immer – für 29,80 Cent fix. Beste Entscheidung. ✌️

Avi Lewis on Instagram: "Today, the NDP is calling on the Carney government to implement a national ban on surveillance pricing - before it becomes a predatory new normal in Canadian life. Canadians are already struggling with the untenable cost of living. Now, retailers are teaming up with Big Tech to squeeze people even more. It’s time to stop the practice dead in its tracks. #cdnpoli"

#Walmart digital #price labels are coming to every store shelf in #US by end of 2026
Nation’s largest retailer says the digital price tags help associates do their jobs better and stresses prices on items will be exactly the same for every consumer in every store.
Some legislators are wary of the technology’s potential to be used in #dynamicpricing models that disadvantage consumers, with Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) introducing a bill to ban it.

Your competitor updated their pricing at 11pm. You found out Thursday.

In competitive e-commerce, that gap costs real revenue. Continuous price monitoring with residential proxies tracks competitor SKUs in near-real-time — retail sites block datacenter IPs, but residential IPs get through as normal traffic.

The brands winning on price aren't reacting. They're watching. 📊

Walmart said that both patents were “unrelated to dynamic pricing”, was specific to markdowns and last week’s patent was designed for merchant teams to make decisions
