We all read about Martin Shkreli, but this is about convenient store products. The worst case being Plan B pills, which I don't see being any more exploited than their current outrageous $50 value.
- perl4ever 8y agoOnce you have entered a grocery or convenience store, you are fairly committed. That is, if you notice something is priced outrageously, you could conceivably get mad enough to walk out, but an awful lot of things could have their price doubled and you would still buy it if it is what you came for specifically and you aren't paying attention. Even if you are paying attention, it costs money and time to drive elsewhere. If someone knows that you are thirsty and only came in for a cold drink, they could increase its price. If someone knows you are late for something, they can probably increase the price of what you need to buy even more. People vastly underestimate the manipulative power of information.
