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.

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. ☝🏼
