    No I wouldn’t personally have to follow every single price. Others are watching prices too, that’s just normal stuff. Not to mention the people who actually work at these stores.

    What’s more likely in your opinion, that they have managed to introduce this new controversial pricing scheme without people finding out, not even their own workers, or that they’ve just not done it? I don’t know man, sounds unlikely to me.

    Without anything to support it it’s just one of those conspiracy theories.

      You seem to be assuming that we’re talking about massive shifts in prices, not changes of a few cents here and there to test the waters.

        People notice even small stuff. I notice it too on some products. Not to mention the workers would know about it, corporate would know about it etc.

        I mean if you have something to support this theory then I’m really interested to see it but at this point this is just a conspiracy theory.

          My support for the theory is capitalism. Look around. There’s no way that these tags are not being planned to be used that way. We are literally in the comment section of a post where an industry analyst, someone who ostensibly knows what they’re talking about, says they’re going to do exactly that. Get real.

          If it isn’t happening already, it will be happening soon.

            We’re talking about if it is happening where I live. You seem certain it is. I’d like to see something better than “get real” to support that, if you don’t mind.
