Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket
Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 day agoThey do that anyway, but usually prices going down.
e.g. yellow stickers going on things that will expire soon.
You’ve not lived if you haven’t watched two pensioners fight to the death over a 20p pack of Greek yoghurt.

That’s a little different.
Items that can expire get marked down at some point during the day, but they aren’t changing the normal price of the item. If there’s 20 packs of chicken beasts on the shelf, 5 or 6 might get the sticker.
There’s no guarantee that the one you have would have even gotten a sticker, and if you’re savvy enough, you might have intentionally chosen the pack with the earliest packed on date.
They aren’t just going up and marking down the main price on everything, and its also always down, never up.
