    There are rules about having to honor advertised prices. The savvy and poor will notice.

      1. Hack e-ink price tag
      2. Take photo “proving” low price
      3. Get minimum wage checkout supervisor to honor displayed price
      4. Profit

      Yes there are. And normally you’d go look at the price tag to prove the different advertised price vs register price. What do you do now that they can change that price instantly?

        They have these at the local Canadian tire, they take 2-3 minutes to change the displayed price, flickering a dozen times as they do. Real slow epaper screens

        You tell them to take the item out of your order, and they can deal with restocking the item in their shelf.

  There’s no sense closing the barn door after all the horses got out.
