Walmart testing the waters for digital price tags.

Editing to add

I just learned Walmart now offers a inHome service where they bring your groceries into your house and put them away.

Will Walmart InHome delivery people also now be mandatory reporters?

It's because their bottom barrel niggers they call employees are are too retarded to even stock shelves correctly let along label them.

That was just phase 1 of the plan.

I have seen these at Aldis and few other places. But yeah, changing the price between grabbing the item and the register is a whole lot easier now.

Things I've use Walmart for in the last 5 years:

Brake Fluid, two stroke oil, a camping mattress

So the price on an item can theoretically double from the second I pick it off the shelf, to the time I scan it? Fuck That!

[ - ] Gowithit [op] 0 points 1 yearJun 10, 2024 18:10:03 ago (+0/-0)

can you make it from the aisle to the register in two minutes?

Go! Isnark Go!!!!!

Supermarket sweep that shit.

everybodys going to go to walmart in their own mad max style modified scooters. fuckin' a .

[ - ] iSnark 1 point 1 yearJun 10, 2024 18:23:37 ago (+1/-0)

I guess my point was that if I have a list of item to buy, what I think I'm paying for it when I pick it up, may be different by the time I hit the register! HOW STUPID! At least lock the prices down for the day. FFS

Also, This is the fun Gowithit I used to know!

People at Walmart be like:

It's a method designed to hide hyperinflation. It's not going to work as well as their yes-men groups tell them it will.

[ - ] Backwards 1 point 1 yearJun 10, 2024 17:25:59 ago (+1/-0)

The usual trash will fuck this up for them like the self-checkout idea did and Walmart will have to go back to the old method.

im thinking next step after this is phones.

[ - ] clymer 3 points 1 yearJun 10, 2024 16:32:19 ago (+3/-0)

they will have AI algorithms tracking item sales in real time and dynamically adjust the price point based on volume sold, maximizing profits. Using this model, they can adjust regionally based on variables like day of the week and weather (i.e. on a sunny saturday, bubba burger sales go up by 19%, budweiser by 22%, lays potato chips by 17% and lawn chairs by 12%, so all of these can be dynamically raised by AI, getting profit maximization down to the penny). them joos know how to do.

Don't shop there? Seriously you can do far better budgeting with local markets, and they are everywhere.

2y we have been doing weekly meal planning, and it might be more of a chore, but a butcher and or going in with neighbors or relatives for a whole cow processed.

The only way things will tilt in favor of the consumer is voting with your wallet.

do you understand when you see the words sustainability you arent just working with 1 its all.

Its all part of the same movement. Go look at any stores website whoever has it is part of it.

dont shop there

Sure plenty of people dont already and it didnt stop. Because you're biggest customer base are....who?? Exactly you and I dont matter and business is business once it works in one store it will go down to the others. Hell look it already said it was was being ran in one of their stores in texas and no one said a damn thing.

Do you think aldis is some mom and pop shop? Krogers? Home depot? I promise you they're not.

[ - ] Anotherone 0 points 1 yearJun 10, 2024 17:29:04 ago (+0/-0)

I understand it is all, but I am speaking with you and the people on this site to attempt a movement that brings change.

The largest consumer base they have is employees and SNAP benefits holders because ease of shopping and nothing else.

We can't hope to change their minds, much less their shopping habits. So why even assume they exist?

Best we can do with what we have is offer solutions that will be available, because many don't know what they are.

You look at the user base on this site? No one likely ever explained how to plan a menu for a week, but I bet you can, and better yet you can facilitate the means for others to do the same.

If they give a location I would be happy to help find co-op that does produce around that area, and even butchers where I can.

The quality of food being sold is steady decline, and if we can't change the world, we can change some people?

DING DING DING and there it fucking is, the fed injun trying to collect user's locations, right on time. @system it's time to deal with this shit already. It's the same fed injun from before.

Dingus you need to go find something else shiny as of this point you are becoming a bit frightening and very Ex Girlfriend persistent.

For someone so adamant about bitch behavior you sure to emulate it well.

Bait and switch is illegal.

GoPro Max for 360 recording

Then again, why shop at Walmart

Kohls has been doing this for years.

"You saved $50,000 today on the purchase of this T-shirt and socks"

[ - ] Gowithit [op] 0 points 1 yearJun 10, 2024 15:19:49 ago (+0/-0)

the video and article talk about digital computer screens at the bottom of the items. Makes it easier on the employees to change the prices. So they can focus on less routine duties.

First of all. Theyre a fucking shelf monkey. Their literal job is to do the mundane routine tasks. 2nd of all they've already been NOT putting tags forcing you to use their app to figure out the price and its extremely annoying.

3rd- They said to spend MORE time assisting customers?? No thank you. i dont need some drugged spooked wtf is with your fucking hair idiot trying to "help" me because they have already trained me to not rely on them for anything.

Except Richard from the home improvement section. Unless every walmart has a Richard (which I highly doubt) I dont need or want them.

Chinamen swarm walmart. It's what they love.

Wal-Mart is backdooring "Dynamic Pricing" just under different marketing terminology.

Once Americans start cutting back and decide to stop buying cheap non-essential items, then Wal-Mart will be hella-fucked. The vast majority of what they push are trash products Made in China-Asia.

Imagine what happens when ~70% of what your store offers is no longer being purchased.

[ - ] BulletStopper 6 points 1 yearJun 10, 2024 18:05:06 ago (+6/-0)*

"Dynamic pricing" = "Individualized Pricing" = Whites, Men, and other "privileged persons" will pay more, so that niggers and jews can pay less.

Two different people in two seperate aisles, or seperate stores a few miles apart, could be paying completely different prices while buying the exact same item, based solely on their prefered pronouns.

Because, "Oy vey, how will the goyim know, right?"

I have a better idea. If there's no real, known, agreed upon fixed price on any item anyway, then let's just go back to every exchange involving a long, drawn-out process of haggling with the sales manager, at the register, over what each individual customer is willing to pay for every individual item.

If they don't have to post a fixed price, then I should like-wise be able to negotiate what I will pay for each item.

"This is $20."

"I'll give you 10."

"I might being willing to take 18."

"And I might pay 12."

"16 is the lowest I can go, you'll be taking bread out of the mouths of my children."

"What? The most any sane person would be willing to pay for this crap is 14."

"15. Last offer."

"Done. Next item..."

Of course, your checkout lines will be all the way to the back of the store, but... you will have achieved your "dynamic pricing".

Try doing THAT with an ebt card.

(Meanwhile, somewhere, Jeff Bezos laughs maniacally in amazon.)

Stealth Price-Gouging combined with intense hand-rubbing

Oh bet. And those in the "affluent" area dont even go to walmart. Its going to be the stores in the welfare areas. They dont look at the prices just pick and place in cart. Whats worse is that the foreigners coming in they dont buy the junk food they hit the produce. Without a care in the world. It looks like locusts swarmed through after a pack or two go through.

[ - ] Anotherone 1 point 1 yearJun 10, 2024 17:43:59 ago (+1/-0)

They already participate with such a concept which is why they dint price match other Walmarts.

Wife and I study these things as part of our little outings. You can go to three different Walmarts around you and I bet many items other than staple items like milk or bread

[ - ] MasklessTheGreat 1 point 1 yearJun 10, 2024 21:19:54 ago (+1/-0)

Yeah, then they will go to the next store and buy the shit from there that was made in china. Everything is made in china. Quitting Walmart doesn’t solve that issue.
