Great, I have a very bad feeling about this, given the possible crisis of 2026.
Already here in Canada.
Man would really suck if internet cuts out to get updates when its at the lowest prices…
remember if you see someone shoplifting food no the fuck you didnt
It is morally correct to shoplift from stores that do this.
I’m going to start dynamic payments. “Oh, between 6-9pm I pay 10% less.”
Portland banned it for housing. Time to ban it for everything else!
Free epaper displays!
Start pushing your state gov to ban this.
I’m going to start haggling with the cashiers.
“GIVE ME BACK MY SON AND A DISCOUNT ON PAPAYA FRUITS!” Sir, this is a 7-11 (both of those are on markup now because you asked).
You can absolutely do this. My father regularly gets discounts on big ticket items like TVs. Most of the time he just asks and they take 5-10% off.
Back when I worked on a till, there was no option to haggle. But, I didn’t give a fuck if you robbed off with half the store. So maybe do that instead 👌
Dynamic mass theft.
Innovative exploitation.
Next-Generation sculduggery.
Dynamic pricingPrice gouging. FTFY.Then I won’t be going to that supermarket.
and then there will be a really popular AI driven phone app that you will use to scan items and find out if you’re being ripped off or not
Sigh, no you don’t need a fucking AI app to do that.
And you ARE being ripped off if you are dealing with a corporation, whether it’s the price, the quality, the quantity, the fine text, ect. You are getting fucked every single time.
So please don’t be holding up the line and blocking aisles while your chatbot nanny tells tells you that everything in FUCK-YOU-LOL-MART™ is overpriced. Learn how underscan and shotplift like a normal person.
I already have a browser plugin that tells me the price history of everything at Coles. There’s one for Woolies too.
Do you have an App that offers better places to shop?
Good choice of product to care about.
Not quite the same thing, but I used an LLM to cobble together a HTML file that allows me to search for products on Coles, Woolies, Aldi and Amazon at the same time in the same window (via frames and a Firefox extension to get around some security settings).
Works a treat when planning our big shops for the week, and has already saved us hundreds of dollars since Jan.
Please make it stop
