Don’t like the dynamic pricing in your local grocery store? Change the pricetag with an app (github.com)

Just change the price to whatever you want using a flipper zero and the linked app.

It’s a bit half-baked though because it wouldn’t change the db figures.. so I guess it would have to be coupled with some social engineering.

IANAL, but I'm fairly certain that listed price has to match the actual charged price at checkout or the customer gets an award of the difference multiplied by n (check your local laws). ☝🏼

    I recall a grocery store in the US having a store policy to give double the difference on price errors and double the refund on returns of expired or spoiled food. It was not law AFAICT but just a competitive voluntary policy.

    IME, the base fine when I was younger (eg. MI, IL, etc.) for such shelf to register discrepancy was ten times said difference —though it's a fairly obscure law, to the point that people more often believed it was an urban legend.

    Makes me wonder if that store was getting ahead of things, just in case. ☝🏼
