Ok, but the e-ink labels have been a thing in Europe for a bunch of years now.

But afaik we only have regional laws against surge or rural high pricing, not yet an EU directive.

How does profiling & face recognition work with GDPR?
No permanent storage but forced to agree with terms by entering the store?

I will tell you as a minimum wage worker who had to manually change the price/sales tags every week, I would have been ecstatic for them to just have some system that does it automatically.
Idk about the surge pricing and facial recognition shit tho.

How would targeting even work? They all have the same barcode.

They have to change the price for all of the items at once.

If you mean for the personalized price changing, presumably it makes a "profile" for you in the system so that, at checkout, the machine knows "that product + that face = that price"

Kroger encourages people to use their app for some discounts so it'll probably have something to do with that

Time for another trip to Aldi I guess

wish mine wasn't such a long drive

can seriously fill my cart for like $100 with a weeks worth of stuff. meanwhile the close one $100 gets like 10 items

Always shocked when we go to Walmart or Kroger for items they don't have at Aldi how inflated the costs are

Any one know a good Mr. Johnson? If we're this dystopian I'd at least like to get paid for some :adventure-time:
