yeah how does it know; and how would it prevent a user from having 2 people with 2 bakets, monitoring prices and pulling the cheaper out while at a store.
in CA at least, the store is required to sell to the consumer at the advertised price (if for instance if its advertised as $1 a lb, and the register has it as $1.20 a lb, the customer will get it for $1; if the price flops dymaically every 10 secs, how will this be upheld?
- joezydeco 2y agoStores aren't going to change the price six times a minute. Like you said, existing laws would stop it from happening and customers would revolt if it did. The headline is just hyperbole form NPR even if it's technically true.
- out-of-ideas 2y agoyep headline is a bit over the top. sadly, ive lost my faith in customers. i do remember seeing gas stations prices being manually updated in the daytime during rush hour. i can imagine even a change in price once during open hours could cause confusion.. and it would be hard to catch. how many folks do you know actually pay attention to price next to item vs checkout price? - most folks i know just pay-whatever and ignore 2nd checking at register
