     @Bad_Banner @graf I bet they could switch to surge pricing easier in the future too

     @graf Employees have to manually change price tags across all stores, now it's going to be a digital interface that'll take a fraction of the time to update.

     @sun @Bad_Banner how does that work then, somebody picks up something off the shelf knowing the price, say it was on sale or something and then because of surging the price changes while they're shopping, now a different price is reflected at checkout and karens screaming at indians behind the cash register not understanding half of the shit shes saying

     @Bad_Banner @Kang_Kong3 @graf sure, but this is like when they tell you selective service isn't signing up for the draft: they're keeping the option open for down the road

     @Kang_Kong3 @graf @sun I found more info about it, it actually talks about price surging and mentions Wendy's lol

     Walmart told CBS MoneyWatch that it would not use the technology for dynamic or surge pricing, when retailers or other businesses quickly change the cost of products or services based on fluctuations in demand due to weather, traffic or other issues.

     "It is absolutely not going to be 'one hour it is this price and the next hour it is not,'" Greg Cathey, senior vice president of transformation and innovation at Walmart, said in a statement.

     Wendy's in February came under fire in announcing plans to use dynamic pricing, but sought to reassure patrons it would be used to offer discounts and not to hike prices when demand is high.
