that's gonna been with paper-based as well but yeah I can totally see it happening
With paper based, they're paying employees to go around and alter the prices, which is too expensive and time consuming.
Digital price tags can be changed on the fly, at once, potentially even automatically.
Uh not instantly. Not storewide in a moment. Make it networked and you can change prices per customer as they walk each aisle.
And that's my point. The digital tags are already being setup that they can adjust within under a minute. People get off work at 4-5pm, better jack up prices for the next few hours!
A bunch of people buying bread at a given time, jack up prices!
Recorded a larger number of people entering through the front turnstile. Yup, pump up those prices!
