Adrianna TanDynamic pricing is such a scam. I was at Best Buy looking at something and in 10 min it jumped $200. lol
At the shop they haven’t gone fully dynamic price tags so there was still the physical price tag to refer to. Online, the price had changed and you wouldn’t know it. Anyway, I am sitting here waiting for a manager to decide if he will honor a physical price tag.
I hope everyone who works on data analysis for dynamic pricing for anything gets bed bugs.
I mean I don’t really necessarily want or need this thing but
Now I’m invested
I want to see what happens if a customer insists on the physical sticker price.
lol they tried to tell me that I had to wait an hour for a GM to come back and honor the printed price
I was like yeah I can wait I have lots of time
I sat down and just stared at them
10 min later they said fine you can have the printed price
Best Buy is a scam
Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦@skinnylatte this reminds me of this time decades ago when I got fined for not having a ticket on public transit. I can't remember the specifics, but the fine was clearly unfair in a way I would still have to pay – some bureaucratic BS.
Anyway, I went to the public transit authority to challenge it. Because of the bureaucratic BS, they could not just dismiss me. In the end I waited for about an hour for someone many levels up in the hierarchy to show up so I can lodge my complaint.

@skinnylatte he shows up and the first thing he tells me is that I can of course lodge my complaint but it will be rejected and so I am only wasting my time.
To which I responded: I'm a philosophy student. I have all the time in the world. What matters is that I am wasting *your* time and pulling you out of whatever else you were doing.
*blank stare*
*deep sigh*
The fine was much lower than the combined cost of the time of all the people that had to handle my complaint.

The Doctor@rysiek @skinnylatte Can I quote you on that?
@rysiek @skinnylatte Thank you.
@drwho gotta ask though: in what context are you thinking of quoting this? Genuinely curious. 
@rysiek A bit of inspirational wisdom for my .plan file. Namely, one can use their path (e.g. philosophy) to make life terribly difficult for someone giving you a hard time.

Andres@rysiek @skinnylatte In her case though, she was saving $200. I don't know what her typical consulting fees are like, but $200/hr (and it sounds like it was more like $200/10mins) seems very much worth it! 😂
