One thing that always confused me about this.. if the price is so dynamic that it can change per person, how does the price get tagged to that person all the way to the register? It’s not like there’s a new barcode or rfid tag that magically appears between the milk isle and the front of the store.

I worked on a project, prototyping these. I don't think the tech is quite there yet to recognize YOU, adjust the price on individual items, and update the tag as you walk up.

But if they could figure out how to Minority Report it reliably, they totally would.

Don't worry they will. One day you wont be able to look at prices without using your personal device. That way you will know YOUR price, which will be determined by the store analysis of your finances and what they think you can afford.

I think you mean dynamic pricing? Digital tags have been the norm in my country for probably half a decade now, with no issues or crazy price hikes

Man, this place was doing fine with original content.

Quit flooding all these communities with reddit reposts. And mark yourself as a bot while you're at it

They're pretty easy to break.

The tag is not concerning me as much as all the shit covering the milk jug.

It jumps up to 12 when you reach for it
