    It would be actual news here so you’d need someone to notice. Me, any other consumer, their workers…

    I get the conspiratorial idea but I very much doubt they’ve managed to keep it secret from everyone. I’d be happy (so to speak) to be proven wrong.

      If there are no laws explicitly preventing the practice then all companies who can do it are doing it.

        It’d be kinda surprising since no store has been known to do it so far, so nobody has noticed or talked. And some people watch the prices and their fluctuation like hawks. Not to mention the employees.

        I get the pessimistic view but I just don’t believe that myself. But like I said, (un)happy to be proven wrong though.
