Craniometric scans have detected Occidental Haplogroup B4 presence, adjusting ham sandwich prices accordingly…
Before going to the store to pick up some menstrual products for my partner, I shave and put on a full face of makeup so the cameras read me as female and don’t give me the “clueless man” price gouge.
Imagine walking up to the products and watching the price go up. This will probably end in a lawsuit. Grab a product at x price and when you scan it it’s y price. They can justify that in court, I don’t care how business friendly the system is it’s going to be struck down.
Well let’s be clear about the tech they use. It’s too slow to dynamically change based on who is shopping. The labels typically use eReader type displays which only update periodically for price updates. Need a 2450 cell battery that can last about 6 months with a single price change a week. Changing the prices more often drastically drains the battery life. And they require constant vigilance to make sure they haven’t just randomly turned themselves off (seriously sometimes they randomly forget what price they should be showing).
I guess what I’m saying is if you want to ruin one of these stores those labels are expensive as fuck so bring a small jewelry kits and destroy as many as you can to fucking ruin a stores bottom line because no way in hell head office will approve sending out another thousand labels so they’ll be forced to go back to paper labels.
They definitely have insurance and also you’ll wind up in jail, so this seems like bad advice
Would a high powered magnet fuck them like they do credit cards or hard drives?
Probably end in a lawsuit
I fucking dare them to change the price on me when I’m at the store in my wheelchair lmao easiest $200k I’ll ever make.
There’s definitely a limit with how hard big corps can fuck people on pricing. Even whole foods/amazon got in trouble for incorrectly weighing and overcharging people for prepared foods.
There’s definitely a limit
currently? Where? I only see companies with one foot over the line waiting to see if the govt blows the whistle and it looks like the ref ain’t blowing.
It’s gonna accelerate even more. There’s definitely a limit but it will be ours
Grab a product at x price and when you scan it it’s y price. They can justify that in court, I don’t care how business friendly the system is it’s going to be struck down.
Imagine being a customer service worker dealing with this shit, people already lose their fucking minds if “the price is wrong” even if they just read the wrong fuckin sign
Another reason they want to ban facemasks
don’t forget ‘if you don’t like it shop somewhere else!’ most 'somewhere else’s available being premium stores or places doing the exact same thing
yeah i’ll take my angry customership to target which already has digital tags, and costs more money or whole foods, which costs even more money
the mcdonalds near me has big ass promotional sticker things plastered over every window so you can’t see just how empty it is most of the time
doing my grocery shopping in a goddamn morphsuit to avoid getting gouged
Printing out a bunch of those “we fed 10,000 faces in to the computer this was what the average nana looks like” faces for each demographic category and wearing them as masks to see which race/age/gender is being offered the lowest prices.
