Comment on Walmart Is Putting Digital Labels That Change Prices Instantly on Every Store Shelf in America

Should be a law that they can only set the price at the start if the business day short of perishable goods marked down before they go bad (where the fresher ones are still regular price)

You can only lower the price while the store is open for business. Any price hikes must be done between business hours. 24 hour stores can raise prices once per day during off-peak hours or something.

Why?

Currently they release new prices on Monday and they’re changed by hand throughout the day. The non-digital signage with last week’s prices can still be up while you’re shopping but at the register items will ring in with the new price.

If that happens they will honor the price on the shelf as long as the UPCs match (people move those price signs all the time, on accident and on purpose).

I understand the corporate bad evil company stance but in this instance people are reaching conclusions based entirely on wild speculation.
