  With regard to the meat buyback program this was seen at a limited number of grocery stores owned by Cerberus Capital Management not too long ago, and confirmed by employees when asked why there were no meat sales for expiring product. Bait and switching in the form of dynamic pricing has been seen with Amazon, who owns Whole Foods. They explain clearly that its based upon visitors but there is murkiness surrounding the secret Project Nessie and pricing surrounding that. Their food delivery/recurring subscription orders were seen adjusting prices by as much as %20 without notice. Walmart also is one of the leading grocery stores in many localities and yes they do digital signage, but have yet to implement bait and switching tactics as of yet. That said, they may try there hand again at it when the regulations come down given their major competitors are doing this with little pushback due to a degradation of the rule of law and government in anti-trust enforcement. These are hardly hypotheticals. There is a fundamental impossibility of separating a person's interest or need in a product, from a person's choice to buy a product at a given price prior to them actually doing it.
