so they are kinda already pulling it online. amazon does it. but like, they let me know when the price of something in my basket changes immediately. big notification.

very different from putting it in your cart and finding out at the checkout. now if you need to make a substitution... godsdammit we gotta go wait in line again? if they do that, they gotta put something on the carts to ding you when something changes or i'll lead the riots myself.

or i’ll lead the riots myself.

This is why they won't. Or if they do, it will not be for long. People will be up in arms. That's why I'm not worried about it happening.
