One thing that always confused me about this… if the price is so dynamic that it can change per person, how does the price get tagged to that person all the way to the register? It’s not like there’s a new barcode or rfid tag that magically appears between the milk isle and the front of the store.
If it can detect a specific person near the tag, it can detect that same person at the register. You work with loyalty cards?
I worked on a project, prototyping these. I don’t think the tech is quite there yet to recognize YOU, adjust the price on individual items, and update the tag as you walk up.
But if they could figure out how to Minority Report it reliably, they totally would.
Don’t worry they will. One day you wont be able to look at prices without using your personal device. That way you will know YOUR price, which will be determined by the store analysis of your finances and what they think you can afford.
Last time I was at the grocery store, I noticed half the tags were set to “Out of Stock” even though the items were clearly in stock. This effectively meant you had no clue what the price of the item was until you check out.
I think you mean dynamic pricing? Digital tags have been the norm in my country for probably half a decade now, with no issues or crazy price hikes
OP doesn’t mean shit because these aren’t their words. They’re a reddit repost bot spamming ragebait
Honestly, the real problem is that ragebait works. Like, if that’s what people decide to engage with on social media, then that’s what’s going to show up, whether it’s skimmed highly-scoring Reddit content or not.
You could try to produce “no-ragebait” communities.
You could try to introduce a recommendation algorithm that uses heuristics to try to identify ragebait and let users who don’t want it filter it out or simply recommend based on their voting.
Man, this place was doing fine with original content.
Quit flooding all these communities with reddit reposts. And mark yourself as a bot while you’re at it
They’re pretty easy to break.
The tag is not concerning me as much as all the shit covering the milk jug.
It jumps up to 12 when you reach for it
