Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket

My grocery store has had these for a while. Dynamic price reductions are coming too. Instead of a set % off, it’ll calculate the most optimal percentage to take off based on popularity of the product, how long until expiry, etc. Just a heads up.

Thank you for telling the useful side of what this could be like. I’m on a sales team who considers options like dynamic pricing, and it is nice to know what good vs bad to look out for.

Yeah, shame on you. Even if this is used to make things cheaper it still fits the definition of ‘discriminatory’. As a company you’re not going around doing handouts, you’re doing the very opposite because your whole existence relies on maximizing what you take over what you give and the more desperate someone is the more you take. Which is why rich people and business owners in general pay less for a pack of cornflakes than some poor mom raising kids on her own.
