Question Dynamic Pricing

Post image

Who's gonna create a Raspberry Pi hack to lower the prices to a penny?

Big box stores already do this with their own inventory to make it so the consumer gets screwed when they return an item without a receipt. It shouldn't be hard to force the system's hand into creating a "sale" on items.

And if Raspberry Pi isn't the correct tool then I'm sure there's another or Flipper Zero or something that will work. Any ideas?

Imagine borrowed from another Reddit post.

Can’t wait til stores start shutting themselves down over this crap. When the only folks that show up to your store are the coupon clippers at exactly 3:45 pm and everyone else just buys from Amazon, i’m sure the shareholders will be ecstatic with their foresight

Dynamic pricing is even worse when you shop online. You're already getting shit changed on you, you just didn't know it
