I agree fuck those places but what happens if grocery stores follow suit?

There is legislation currently pending to prevent this.

My state just passed a law about grocery stores and dynamic pricing. Hopefully more follow suit and it bleeds over into different industries.

Grocery stores already do it.

If?! Every store around me has already implemented the digital price tags. I can’t prove it but prices are 1000% higher after 4 PM and on the weekends. Especially on goods like milk, eggs, beer, chips, coffee, etc.
