If the price the item goes up from the point I place in cart and I get to checkout I am leaving the item and walking out without buying another fucking thing from Walmart.
My concern isn’t that the price of an item will go up between my grabbing it and checking out, my concern is that they’ll update the price before I ever see it, and I’ll pay 50 cents more for this box of graham crackers than everyone else. After all, Walmart knows that I buy graham crackers every time I go there, and they know that I’ve put up with price increases in the past. They know who and where I am from the moment I enter the store to the moment I leave.
There is nothing stopping them from bumping up the price of those graham crackers while nobody is in the aisle. I grab them while they say $8.59, and I pay $8.59 at the register. Someone else who tends to buy them when they’re on sale grabs them while they say $7.59, and we pay different amounts at the same time, because Walmart also knows what register I’m using and which list of prices to charge me.
Tell me you think inflation is about to get out of control without telling me you think inflation is about to get out of control.

Yeah your right which means I need to avoid Walmart altogether. Or fuck up the algorithm by never buying same things when I shop.
