afaik there was somewhere that was suggesting having these labels adjust with who was in front of the item: track you through the store, link that to their internal profile of you, charge more if they think you can afford it/figure your susceptible to certain sales/etc
Wow that’s crazy. I can’t believe they’re doing this without telling the market or regional teams. They haven’t even told store managers about the individual pricing!
Because it’s not a thing. The digital price signage is so they don’t have to change individual labels on the thousands of items in the store, saving a huge amount of tedious labor.

Just had her proof read this for accuracy and she pointed out that the digital prices can be changed from the office and price changes drop on Monday but still require someone to push them to the shelves. It is possible someone observed a price update while they were looking at the shelf, or this is just wild speculation.
