It does reduce paper consumption significantly at least, and e-ink is probably the most efficient display for digital price tags.

Every store I've seen implement these over the last decade has eventually switched back to printed labels. Don't know why since it should reduce man-hours when updating tags and the miniscule cost of printing.

They've trialled these a million times, and customers fucking HATE them. For some reason. It's not like demand pricing etc would be far behind. But they are proven basically only a slight notch above products where no price is displayed, that buyers then won't touch with a fucking pole. In an honest world, they would work.

I wonder if we'll see some stores switching to a model where they keep all the items in the back inaccessible to customers -- you order everything upfront and the employees will go to the back, gather the items and give them to you after payment.

Really? Here it basically made no difference, the tags are the same as the old paper ones and I’ve not heard anyone talk about them. They’re pretty neat tech-wise, updated using IR from turrets on the supermarket roof. I do wonder how robust they are from a security perspective, and I’d love to find a batch of unused ones for cheap cause they’re very robust eInk displays that’d be good for little status monitors or temperature displays

well they have bluetooth sensors that track your phone's passive bluetooth emissions as you walk around the store via triangulation. they've had that for probably a decade. your bluetooth transmits various identifiers that the store reads and can attribute to you. they wouldn't need cameras to change the price.

before you think about turning off bluetooth, there's "negative sensing" too thanks to a suite of sensing that detects the combination of a) your physical shape b) your face c) [optional] your walking gait d) [optional] your pathing and loitering trend e) no bluetooth emissions.

and before you try to fool the collaborative sensing with a fatsuit and a tack in your shoe and a face-altering disguise and pathing and only pay with cash... you are "unidentified" with a hash, and that is an identifier, and any mistake will correlate your "unidentified" persona with your real one.

so your best bet is impersonation and false identity, where the collaborative sensing mis-identifies you as someone else it already knows. even then, there's anomaly detection that can raise red flags. but you can bet your ass that no one is monitoring those alerts... because there are other false positives all day most likely, and you'd be the only true positive most likely. it's the same way you defeat tracking dogs: you can't defeat the dog, so you have to defeat the handler by making them distrust the dog, or decline the pursuit. false positives already do the heavy lifting especially in low-threat environments.

just buy from your local farmers market, or direct from farmer(s). ditch the grocery store.

I am kept safe by the knowledge that the intern charged with managing this shit cannot be fucked setting it up properly. Supermarkets are not run by the technologically savvy.

As someone who works in the industry:
Tags are handled by department employees who already have other tasks that can't be automated. Larger stores might have one employee whose primary job is to replace tags, but even they will also be stuck stocking shelves/helping out other departments.

In the US, maybe. In the EU this is literally illegal and considered a violation of the Price Indication Directive and the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive. There actually have been occurences already of the authorities cracking down on last-moment price changes through digital price tags.

What is the point of this horseshit? How is it different from just pricing it 3 dollars in the first place? Is it just to lie about your price to most customers and inflation data collectors? Is it just to make people mad with petty dystopian bs that does not even make things that much worse? Or is the whole thing just an excuse to prop up the AI investment bubble?
