   To whoever made the decision to replace the glass on the fridge at walgreens with giant screens: satan is going to slow roast you like a little chicken on a spit

     @kaia @hannah afaik marketing. for prices there are those smart price tags with e-ink displays.
     
     
     "The screens, which were developed by the startup Cooler Screens, use a system of motion sensors and cameras to display what’s inside the doors — as well as product information, prices, deals and, most appealing to brands, paid advertisements. The tech provides stores with an additional revenue stream and a way to modernize the shopping experience. "
     
     
     “The digital cooler screens at Walgreens made me watch an ad before it allowed me to know which door held the frozen pizzas,”
     
     though they claim 90% of customers like it and it increases sales.
     
     tbh i would already dislike it for being to bright. wouldnt go there for sure
