A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Isn't the real use case just so they don't have to waste staff time changing labels manually when stock changes or moves?
This way they can spend more time rearranging the store so nobody knows where anything is, in turn making us walk past a bunch of stuff we don't need in an effort to try and induce an impulse purchase!
Efficiency!
A bit of that, but hopefully if they piss off too many people they'll just go elsewhere
Why not both? (Until the laws are catching up)
I offer you a third option: at least one Lidl in Croatia uses blinking tags for stuff they really want you to look at.
Sometime soon we're gonna have to invent a spam filter for real life. Hey, maybe that's the use case that the Vision guys at Apple have been looking for?
Tbh Apple Vision pro was probably designed to add more visual spam, not reduce it...
I really wish there were any even remotely credible way to disagree with that statement.
