      I included tax on price tags in my store for years here in Texas, and I rounded everything up or down to whole dollars, so no dealing with coin change. The customer knew exactly what it was gonna cost to walk out the door with my merchandise. They thought it was the best thing ever

      It is about the e-ink labels. I don’t disagree that companies like Walmart will use it to be scammy, but I believe all companies should switch to those. I also believe there should be laws against dynamic pricing to avoid this type of issue.

      When I worked in retail, we would have a team of 6 spend 4 hours going through the entire store to swap out every single price tag before the store opened. It didn’t matter if the price stayed the same because the tags had expiration dates and customers would get their panties in a bunch over it. The amount of plastic waste created by weekly and daily price changes is insane.
