    I’ve gotta wonder… How expensive are these little networked e-ink displays? Probably not super expensive, but they’ve gotta be more than a paper price tag. Definitely more of a hassle to replace when someone breaks them by running into them, accidentally snapping them off, etc…

      $8 (I’m assuming Dollarydoos). At least according to the article (it’s hidden in the caption of a photo). And it cites Reddit…

      But more expensive than the wage of the person to go around replacing them for weekly sales? Walking back and forth to make a new tag to fill in an empty spot when something runs out?
