Imagine standing in an aisle and the prices go up as you walk down it.
Surge pricing on goods starting next year. Wont be long after that all the labels are blank until your standing infront of them being scanned by an AI.
We’re hitting minority report advertising and pricing faster than I expected
Say hello on demand pricing. Get ready to bend over consumers.
Good thing I haven’t stepped foot in a Walmart since 2015.
Price can’t fluctuate if you just order online and do in store pickup. For the people that don’t have any options except Walmart. My total bill always seems smaller if I order online than if I go into the store to shop anyway.
They’ll do anything but add Apple Pay.
Make sure WiFi, Bluetooth, and NFC are off while shopping. They will be able to know who you are based on your device and adjust prices accordingly. Maybe just leave all devices in the car. Then again facial recognition will probably tie you to a profile as well so maybe we are all just fucked.
If they do surge pricing for things like water on a hot day, you have to boycott them for it
So profiteering by a single guy for sanitizer during COVID, straight to jail. Profiteering countless times, e.g price of water on hot days, good business. Got it.
Digital signs don’t imply dynamic pricing. In the same way we have digital billboards that don’t require you to send a guy up on a skyjack with a paint brush, these won’t require sending an associate to every spot on every shelf every week to switch out a little piece of paper. It’s a cheaper and more efficient way to do the same thing they’ve always done.
> Amanda Bailey, a team leader in electronics who works at a Walmart in West Chester, Ohio, estimates that the digital shelf labels — known as DSLs — have cut the time she used to spend on pricing duties by 75%, time that has freed her up to help customers. She also said the DSLs are a game-changer because Walmart’s Spark delivery drivers looking for an item will see a flashing DSL so they can more easily find the product.
I get healthy skepticism, but it’s also possible that they really are just better and more convenient. I’m not going to miss the tiny finicky pieces of paper, TBH.
Getting ready for hyperinflation and weekly price adjustments.
I saw an article not long ago about this.
The example from the executive was that price of water will increase dynamically as the temperature rise.
They don’t even hide it.
Everything will still be behind locked cabinets, and there will be nobody to open them around. And heaven help you if you have multiple items to get since they need to escort you directly to checkout. Have totally sworn off Walmart since that experience. Good riddance.
Ma y times they are hard to read
They’ve had these in Aldi over here in the UK for ages. They just always seem to end up on the floor because someone’s knocked them off the shelves.
We always do Walmart pickups so all my prices have been digital for years. 💀
MY local store has these and half of them don’t work, they just display a barcode instead of a price.
We have digital price labels at a shop near me (not in the US), they’re nicer and more green than printing out labels for every price change.
If people are afraid of dynamic pricing will become a thing that’s a problem with the people you elect.
This „idea“ needs to be banned and made illegal, immediately.
I just wanna be able to make the tags flash for what I’m looking for like the dedicated shoppers can.

So I don’t even remember when the last time I was at a Walmart. But I know this will hit my friends in the south where sometimes the only store around is a Walmart.
Soon I’ll have to do my food shopping at the local independent ethnic food stores. The Asian ones are quite inexpensive
Lots of stores in southern Ontario Canada have been using them for years now. Extremely convenient when trying to look for an item on your phone with the stores app, there’s an option for it to flash the price label and have an LED flash for you to find the item easier. Not sure what the big deal is.
Some states have dynamic pricing laws. Walmart better keep their nose clean on this one
Aaand that’s the end of my time shopping at Walmart. It’s been real folks.
Leave it to Walmart to continually add on to their absolute shit reputation. Good work
This screws us over because they’re able to do large scale data collection on region wide spending habits. This isn’t about one person having prices change, or surge pricing, it’s about pushing prices by the cent to the absolute maximum that, region wide, we are willing to spend as consumers. It’s about constantly squeezing every cent out of us day by day as a whole collective of consumers. This unlocks a whole new level of control, experimentation, and profit maximization.
If it can be digitized, it can be exploited. Good luck, walmart
To make it easier to increase prices more often
Joke’s on them, I’ll just shop local grocers, farmers markets, or directly from farms.
I wonder how long it will take to make a device you can pass over it and change the price wirelessly (oops $399.00 changes to $39.99)
Next headline: Walmart sales decline and no one knows why
It seems like most stores have had them for awhile now. I’m guessing the holdouts have been more rural stores outside of major metropolitan areas. If Walmart works like other big box retailers it might be one of those things where management has been resistant because it comes out of a budget that effects their bonuses/incentives.
Prices will go down Around me. Haven’t cough a single bag of chips since 2020.
These have been in use for a while over here.
I haven’t seen them change while I was in an aisle, but I have seen a change in price labels overnight. The store (that I visit) that uses them has a policy that if someone reports the same product at a lower price in a store in the area, that particular store will lower its price to beat the competition.
I have noticed these labels frequently go blank, and the store workers using strong language while trying to get the microdisplay running and the correct product/price combo visible again.
We have this at Canadian Tire.
„You’re just getting here after work? Well, due to rush-hour, all prices have gone up 3%. We’ve also had increased store traffic, so another 2% will be added to all items in the store. Would you like to leave a tip?“
Guys if the price isn’t right. Walk out
Loblaws in Canada had these 30 years ago. Though dynamic pricing didn’t exist back then
All I can say about Walmart is that around 2023, a box of Walmart frozen waffles was $.89. Now, it’s about $2.35 for no reason whatsoever.
I saw a video like a year or two ago and how this was been pair with facial recognition and different costumers had different prices at the counter
Get ready for a bunch of shit to be left at the checkout when the price changed
Many companies have digital price tags already. Kohls, for example, has used them for years. Other supermarkets in my area have done them for years as well.
If we can price groceries to the consumer we can adjust fees to wealth. Make it so if someone like Tiger Woods is caught speeding, he pays a hundred grand. He can afford it.
