      You can allow the labor saving aspect of digital price tags without allowing the price-gouging bullshit of variable pricing.

      Changing sku tags, doing markdowns and markups etc, are some of the more pain in the ass tasks in a big box store, or any store for that matter. Automating that wouldnt be such a bad thing, so long as it doesnt also allow variable pricing bs

      Just for perspective, a store like walmart can have several hundred items that need to be changed within a day. That means someone that would usually have something better to do has to spend an entire shift going around farting with little paper tags. It’s a massive waste of time and a task that nobody wants to do.
