I guess they could do it with rfid tags on every imdividual item but at $0.05-$50 per tag that doesn’t seem remotely worthwhile.

Too expensive but that is a great idea for public spaces in general. Thermoelectric on open spaces would be cool, too. But while we’re dreamimg: por que no los dos.

I wonder if they’re all wired or run off batteries?
Batteries, I asked my local store manager (aka my wife). She also added that if you have the Walmart app open and can’t find an item on the shelf it will light the label up green so you can locate it.

Why?
Currently they release new prices on Monday, on a weekly basis, 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.

Pvc is relatively cheap. Submersible pump could be as cheap as $10. Expanded clay is also affordable. Not sure about the design, though.

Call up your local NAACP and find activist groups to be a part of. Advocate for yourself instead of waiting for whitey to save you from the mess they created.

It’s unusual to use the word figuratively.
Sure, in tour experience. I’ve used and seen it used literally and figuratively.
For everything after that, it’s because you’re kind of being a dick.
Nah, I followed the back and forth and you’re the one being a dick trying to gatekeep the usage of a word.
