Supposedly it usually leads to price decreases
>>545051669Then everything should cost $1000 in cities to offset all the theft
>>545051669Those e-ink price displays just slide right off. You can easily steal a dozen of them. Sometimes they are just laying on the shelf or floor.You can resell them for like $30 each on eBay
>>545051669>most tracked price changes at several major retailers were actually decreasesHoly fucking pilpul.>-$0.01>-$0.03>-$0.02>+$0.15>most changes were decreases, goy!
>supposedly these companies are going through all this trouble to make less money and help you savelolCasinos exist to help you win!lmao
>>545051669capitalism made me communist
>>545051669I love when companies build systems that help them save me money. Lmao.
>>545051803Eventually as the economy gets worse we all become niggers. The more desperate people get the less cooperative they will be.
>>545051669If they lock the price in at the start of business I'm fine.
>>545052083So you now support money printing?
>>545051669none of it matters since amazon will become the entire market due to this foolish action.
>>545052132
>>545052083>voting for the people who have an even worse track recordI can't fathom being so utterly fucking retarded.
>>545052083that statement doesn't make sense.>>545052132that pic is ridiculous since inflation doesn't rise prices.
Yeah we thought streaming would be cheaper than cable too. Now you have to sub to 50 services to get similar coverage.
>>545051803do they have some kind of wireless moduleI can think of a few uses for these
>>545051669>supposedlyYou mean the PR team says it would
>>545052403I assume so, else how would they update?If your concerned about the alarm at the door going off then you can make an appropriate faraday cage with foil and paper.
>>545051803this is why stores have switch to digital price tags now you nigger
>hang outside Walmart thinking about buying cereal>laugh at all the people having to pay extra
>>545051669>Discount from the hours of 9am to 3pm>Raise prices for white working people 3pm to 9pmIt's the right thing to do. t.Only boomers and niggers shop in the morning. Boomers are filthy rich and niggers ALL use dat EBT.
>>545052170Amazon already does this. Prices fluctuate frequently.
>>545052037>>545052336>>545055635This shit right here. I've seen too many times new tech that's supposed to save people money. It never does.
>>545051669>Supposedly it usually leads to price decreasesYes, I'm sure a company will pay to add extra infrastructure to make less money.
>>545051669Dynamic pricing is just another way to nickel and dime working people while rewarding jobless EBT recipients. Just the last dying gasp of capitalism.
>>545051669if you are a man of principle you will never go there again. thats what I would do. just keep your shit L grocers.
>>545055926>implying decreasing prices is losing money>>545055997>he says without any sort of idea how prices are formed
>>545052403I think it’s short range, maybe bluetooth. The ones I’ve seen locally the wagies still have to get fairly close with what looks like a modified cellphone to update them.
>>545055997They're also not rolling out dynamic pricing, at least not at Walmart. These digital shelf tags make a lot more sense to anyone who's had the misfortune of working at one of these places. Meijer was particularly cute because it treated its pricing team as the redheaded stepchild with this. You had to show up at 4 am and work until Noon 4 days out of the week, and then they'd make you split 2 hours and 6 hours on Saturday because the weekly sale stickers had to be changed over, which was an entire-store endeavor. They'd shove the entire job onto like 4 people who aren't overnight for the majority of their week, because pricing tended to be where you were relegated to if it was discovered that you could read.
>>545051669>supposedly it leads to price decreasesThen there must be proof of this, anon.
>>545051803Yes actually. Everyone should actually just steal everything. That way we can form an economy, anon.
>>545051669>often leading to price decreasesLmao absolute bullshit. No corporation is going to willing adopt dynamic pricing to make less money.
>>545051669>dress like a homeless person and pay in cashsimple as.
>>545052083Explain the differences between capitalism, socialism, and communism.
>>545051669So where should I buy groceries to avoid this bullshit?
>>545051669so they want us to stop shopping online and come into the store, like they want us to stop working from home and come into the office. And then they release a system that has you walking into their store and you see if you come back in a few hours you can get it a few dollars cheaper. So you will just decide it's easier to wait and buy it online. So they just pushed you out of their stores again. Fucking idiots.
>>545057817The price decrease they're talking about is operational costs. Price changes currently take a lot of manhours. Whether or not those savings get passed onto the consumer in any meaningful way is up for debate. The switch itself costs money and training, after all, and it's not like Walmart is worried about someone trying to undercut them.
>>545052403They generally have an SoC with Bluetooth/BLE, WiFi or some custom radio protocol over 2.4Ghz.They have flash memory and some have IR sensors and other peripherals. And of course a battery and e-ink display.People pay good money to assemble things like this with a pizero or other SBC.Here is a teardown and reflashing tutorial for a cheap and fairly common e-ink price display - Telink TLSR8359:https://youtube.com/watch?v=BvOkOANCmMk
>>545051669>usually leads to price decreasesAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU STUPID FUCKING FAGGOT SHILL HAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dynamic pricing had been a thing online for 2-3 years now. I know its a thing on amazon. My wife and I shop for the same thing simultaneously, shes on an iphone, im on a €69 motorola. The exact same item is often cheaper on my screen, at the exact same time, even when we copy paste the URL. It makes sense, owning an iphone shows you are willing to pay 20X more for no reason.Just get a cheap piece of shit phone to get a discount everywhere
>>545051669>Supposedly it usually leads to price decreasesSays who, the corporations who want to maximize profit and take as much of your money as possible?
>>545051669FUCK kroger, that POS company is opening an office in India while rebranding as "America's Favorite Grocer" while firing US employees. It's run by a bunch of NWO faggots from the UK, NZ and India.It used to be a based company but all these fucking nigger lovers have ruined it.>t. work at corporate
>>545051669Weimar inflation here we come! but this time, Za Worldo!!!
>>545052083when do we start killing CEOs for getting rich by selling fake food to idiots
>>545051669Bull shit. Now at walmart every time I buy something on sale I have to get the girl to fix the price as it always rings up wrong. I have to take a picture of the tags now.
>take pictures of price tags as I pick up groceries>reach self checkout and pull out phone>anything that changes price between when I took off the shelf to then, I set aside>call over wagie>"I dont want any of these. Please cancel them.">pay for the rest>if number of "changed" prices exceeds 25% of my basket, I will dump it all onto the floor and walk out.
>oftenYou think they just all decided to start making less money? Obviously it's making them more money which is why they're doing it.
complaining about grocery prices? LOL HAHAHAHAH THE IRONY
hey american, post the in-store price XD
How do I larp as low income when I shop so I fool the sensor and get lower prices?
>>545059644Leafs can laugh at no one. You elected two cucks in a row PM.
>>545059644Been awhile since I saw a canadian groceries prices thread. These were everywhere in 2024. Also seeing less threads with webms of pajeets being eaten by large machines and vehicles.4chins is less fun now
>>545051669Lol, yes this is true.
>>545057913Niggers and Kikes..
>>545059507>take pictures of price tags as I pick up groceriesI do that too, but for another reason.The stores here have a policy that if an item scans higher than the displayed shelf price, you get the item for free. (Or a discount for multiple items)They do not like people taking photos of their price tags. Security often follows me around the store.But I'm not doing anything wrong. And sometimes I get free stuff because of their mistakes
>>545051669what is K-mart and Sears doing with their prices?
>>545055346Based
>>545060136Dropping them completely
>>545059670Will there be an end to the horror?
>>545051669Once people figure out how it works there is going to be a service of proxy buyers that know how best to game the system.Like how people group up and reject a bunch of doordash orders to drive up the delivery fee.
Cart dumping is a fun way to show grocery stores just how much you appreciate them. Remember to fill your cart to the brim with the most expensive, perishable items you can, and try to get a large variety. Load the conveyer, wait in line until the cashier starts to ring it up, then declare you forgot your wallet at home and just walk away. Have fun out there kids.
>>545060799Fun fact: the daughters of CEOs are very fertile
Not the Wegmans.
>>545051803what can you do with them? why would people buy these?
>>545051669>dynamic pricing leads to cheaper pricesLol. Keep thinking that, stupid goy.
>>545058053>Whether or not those savings get passed onto the consumer in any meaningful way is up for debate.Kek, just like self checkout. Turns out the only customers that were saving any money were those that were shoplifting.
>>54505213295% of the money in circulation is loaned into existence by commercial banks, aka capitalism.https://youtu.be/c8sN_hPHjgYif you don't expand the money supply you get a recession, or worse a depression. money supply should ideally reflect the total economy. too much money floating around and you get inflation, too little money recession. a bit oversimplified but its what's up.this is specifically because money loses its velocity, aka it isnt being spent, its being hoarded and stockpiled by the private sector. this means the government must create new money, or there is none left for everyday people to use for transactions.think of the government issuing currency like a capacitor in a circuit. it smooths out the power, so it compensates for both spikes and drops, and potentially insulating the economy from outside shocks.a government that creates its own currency can never go bankrupt.
>>545061051You round up as many as you can. Head right to the shitter at the store. First wedge half a roll of asswipe in the bowl. Take a shit. And toss the tags on top. Dont flush. Let some fucking wagie tell his manager to get fucked when they send him in to clean it up.
>>545051669I don't give a shit. I'm a van lifer and when I'm in a random city I just load up a cart and leave.
>>545061110nah replace the federal reserve and banks with a small computer program that indexes money supply growth to gdp/ppp whatever then execute all bankers
>>545059984Just post the in store prices...
>>545051962Yeah this is a bunch of bullshit. They'll highlight the couple of price decreases and then gloss over and fail to mention the 20 increases. Or they'll decrease it one week then double the price the next week like they do those fake black Friday sales
>>545057952Prices everywhere are fucked up but I recommend finding a chain that has good sales and coupons. That at least gets you a variety of things each week near the real prices.
>>545052083Where on this godforsaken globe did you find capitalism?
>>545061226Nice recipe, I'll call it a "goyslop shit on a bed of prodooct with capitalism sprinkles"
Facial recognition will see that you're White and charge you more.
>>545061110>a government that creates its own currency can never go bankruptAre you sure about that?
>>545061370i've heard worse ideas
>>545061619Shop like a california nigger. <$500 = no criminal charges. If all the unemployed browns get free shit so do I.
>>545061661yes.as long as you don't create money beyond actual resources that you have, no inflation.this is mmt theory. worth checking out.https://michael-hudson.com/2024/09/debunking-u-s-bankruptcy-myths/
>>545061370>>545061110In an ideal world, the money supply would be fixed. That way, as wheat production increases, wheat prices fall.Let us imagine an island. Let us say it has a million sea shells that the islanders use as currency. Let us say that the islanders double their harvest of fish. Should we then double the amount of sea shells? No. We keep the same amount of money, and as the supply of fish increases while the supply of money stays the same, the exchange rate between the two changes. This is how pricing works. This is how capitalism works.In today's world, the pricing mechanism doesn't exist. Goods become more expensive even while the supply of them increases because the demand for money is constantly decreasing. The demand for money is constantly decreasing because banks and governments are constantly creating new money and throwing it at everything. Money should never be confused with wealth. Money is a measure of wealth, like a yardstick. By increasing or decreasing the supply of money, we are just changing the increments on the yardstick, without affecting the size of the thing (wealth) we are trying to measure.
>>545051803why would you steal from a supermarket you retardits all on camera and there is usually a guy in the back room checking
>>545052288>that pic is ridiculous since inflation doesn't rise prices.inflation is literally defined as an increase in prices, moron
>>545052276In Soviet Union you had basically zero competition. If you wanted pants they came in an extremely limited variety from state enterprise factories. You had almost no choices. When you go to the store in modern America it looks like you have infinite choices. But when you look closer the brands are fake. They exist on paper and everything is owned by cartels of 3-5 companies. And those cartels are all owned by an even smaller set of financial institutions tied to the fed reserve. We are converging into the same system as the Soviets
>>545061959> By increasing or decreasing the supply of money, we are just changing the increments on the yardstick, without affecting the size of the thing (wealth) we are trying to measure.Like a pajeet with a ruler in front of a mirror in Bihar, there ain’t much to measure.
>>545061973The rent a cops that make up asset protection are useless retards. They're only a threat to those that make it excruciatingly obvious they're stealing shit like just loading up a basket full of stuff without looking at prices. The cameras are pointless too considering legally speaking the item in question must be in view at all times in order for a charge to legally stick plus it's official law that if you steal under a couple hundred dollars then it's legal. That scary story about them just waiting for you to steal enough to hit that limit! Is bullshit too.I used to work in asset protection
>>545062048depends on the school of thoughtmost sane definitions follow prices or some abstract close enough to that.austrian school (libertards) define inflation solely by the size of the money supply
>>545051802The majority of loss is internal theft, shoplifting is a tiny percentage
>>545052083This is centralized planning...this IS Communism you fucking retard.
>>545051669COME WEIMARDIAN
>>545051803Any way to hack them? They are probably Bluetooth. Imagine the tag just saying nigger instead of a price.
>>545057863We live in a kleptocracy, from the bottom to the top, if you haven't realized.
>Dynamic pricing, also referred to as surge pricing, demand pricing, time-based pricing and variable pricing, is a revenue management pricing strategy in which businesses set flexible prices for products or services based on current market demands. It usually entails raising prices during periods of peak demand and lowering prices during periods of low demandyes thats called price gouging, every scumbag does it. Nice of them to finally admit theyve been fucking us the whole time like we weren't fully aware already
>>545052204I work 40 hours a week making $30/hr and I'm still struggling. >My shoes are $25 >I make free coffee from work >My phone was bought on clearance for $200 like 4 years ago I live in the southwest where things are cheaper. My rent is $1500. Groceries are going up, gas is going up, I don't even have vices and I have like 2 subscriptions that are under $20/mo. My car is paid off, my insurance is like $150/mo.
>>545062772u stole my <3 uWu
>>545052276>vote in communismnot unless you're voting with bullets
>>545062482True but you're understimating just how frequently and to what extent niggers steal. Most of the time the workers are stealing a little bit every day. Basically their real salary is paid that way since otherwise they're making pennies. I'm sure you already know niggers steal more often if you're on /pol/ but trust me when I say you're still way underestimating it. It's shocking to even a racist that expects it. At every job I've had where I was working security, a clothing store, a grocery store, a warehouse there were fucking niggers every single day breaking into shit, loading up on shit and then running off. It's amazing just how brazen they are. White people steal plenty sure but they do it in a white way, something is overpriced and they elect not to pay for that one item. Compare that to my job at a clothing store where a group of niggers would rush the clothing rack stealing every single hoody so they can then go resell them for a dollar on Craigslist to other niggers. When I worked at a grocery store, a nigger got busted stealing every single brisket, something like 50 of them. Or when I worked at the pharmacy and a nigger bitch loaded up her basket on everything in the store and then rushed out the door with the basket. When I worked at a warehouse a nigger got busted breaking into coworkers lockers to steal their medication and whatever else they might find. Or another time at this same warehouse a nigger put on a yellow vest to pretend to be a worker and broke into a an actual workers work van. They took everything in the van including random ass instruction manuals

>>545051803If this becomes a thing I'm just going to smash any one of these I see with my thumbI have a grip strength of 165 pounds which is significantly above averageThat's not saying much because Americans are fat and weak but I'm sure it's enough to fuck up that screen
>>545061051Like that other anon said you can just flush them down the toilet for hijinks, however a more technically minded anon might be able to program some fun things in their own home, like a thermostat or like an RSS feed
>>545051669The house always win; suckers pay.
>>545051669Theft is encouraged.
>>545051669>Store chain spends a combined billion dollars on e-price displays and tech...>... So they can lower prices for consumers!You would have to be too retarded to tie your own shoes to think this is what would happen.
>>545063060All that fapping finally paid off, mister Kungfu Grip.
>>545051803You're giving me Bubbles vibes.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X95o53Gepmg
>>545051669It's good for me, because I have heaps of money and have apparently spent my entire life building the stingiest possible ecommerce footprint. To low impulse control niggers: you get what you deserve.
>>545063188I have a big peepee too, I'm quite proud, thank you
>>545051669wouldnt it be cool if op didnt gargle semen and posted a link for the rest of us?
>>545062905What's crazy is that I'm in a similar position and rent is what's really killing us, it's my biggest bill, far larger than all the other bills combinedI won't bore you niggers with math but I'd like to remind everyone that Boomers used to rent apartments by themselves with part-time minimum wage jobs, it's shocking how little they actually had to work
>>545063276

>>545051669sadly, it is the only next logical step
>>545063373yes I know someone who needs that book and it's YOULOL
>>545060799Oh, and remember to walk or take the bus to the store, or park outside the perimeter of their lot to avoid cameras getting your tag.
>>545051802Well yes. The most effective tech for reducing prices would be tech that eliminates theft. When you shop at the major chains you are directly subsidising theft.
>>545063353My boomer relatives could literally walk into just about any business and get a job with handshake well into the 70s and it wasn't even that uncommon in the 80s. Today? You can spend hours filling out bogus applications meant to harvest data with no job on the other side. Plenty of ordinary office jobs are being lost to foreigners on visas because the company "couldn't find an American to do the job" as if that isn't one of the most obvious lies of all time. In the 2010s I was going to apply to an entry level IT job near my house while I was in college. When I pulled up the details it wanted me to code 12 programming languages, have years of experience, and have ALL the responsibilities of a sysadmin, for rock bottom pay. Of course they turn around and find a foreigner who lies on their application and hey game the system. It's my sincerest dream that companies doing this have their entire C Suite perp walked to federal prison
>>545051669>Corporation doing something>Helps consumerslol.lmao even.It's literally a court precedent that corporations can't consider anything but share holder profits. Thanks to those crypto jew dodge brothers.
>>545051803>people will just steal them!
>>545051669Daily reminder.Shop lifting is just dynamic pricing.
