Great, I have a very bad feeling about this, given the possible crisis of 2026.
Man would really suck if internet cuts out to get updates when its at the lowest prices…
Already here in Canada.
remember if you see someone shoplifting food no the fuck you didnt
It is morally correct to shoplift from stores that do this.
I’m going to start dynamic payments. “Oh, between 6-9pm I pay 10% less.”
Portland banned it for housing. Time to ban it for everything else!
Free epaper displays!
Start pushing your state gov to ban this.
Dynamic mass theft.
Innovative exploitation.
Next-Generation sculduggery.
I’m going to start haggling with the cashiers.
“GIVE ME BACK MY SON AND A DISCOUNT ON PAPAYA FRUITS!” Sir, this is a 7-11 (both of those are on markup now because you asked).
You can absolutely do this. My father regularly gets discounts on big ticket items like TVs. Most of the time he just asks and they take 5-10% off.
Back when I worked on a till, there was no option to haggle. But, I didn’t give a fuck if you robbed off with half the store. So maybe do that instead 👌
Dynamic pricingPrice gouging. FTFY.Then I won’t be going to that supermarket.
and now there’s going to be a really popular AI driven phone app that you will use to scan items and get price ranges so that you know if you’re being ripped off or not
You don’t need a fucking AI app to do that…JFC
I already have a browser plugin that tells me the price history of everything at Coles. There’s one for Woolies too.
Good choice of product to care about.
Not quite the same thing, but I used an LLM to cobble together a HTML file that allows me to search for products on Coles, Woolies, Aldi and Amazon at the same time in the same window (via frames and a Firefox extension to get around some security settings).
Works a treat when planning our big shops for the week, and has already saved us hundreds of dollars since Jan.
Please make it stop
