This sounds like discrimination, how could this not violate people's rights?

Yea sounds like a good way for no one to want to go to Kroger. Why would I want to guess what fricking price you will charge me?

I would sue the shite out of them. If I'm not getting charged the listed price on the shelf, get fricked.

If true, this is how you go out of business, quickly. No way Kroger is this stupid or ... ?

So he's saying when someone that looks poor steps up to the checkout they are charged a higher price?

If any of this is true, the FTC would love to hear about this.

This is how a lot of toll roads work.

The price increases with the demand.

The toll road doesn’t charge me more if I use it more. It charges more if more cars are on it.

Pretty big difference between using facial tech and rasing prices based on who is buying vs raising prices as items have higher demand.

If I put something in the cart and the price is different than when I picked it up, I’m going to toss it out and just leave my full cart at a register and walk off if it’s due to some ai bullshite.

Kroger needs to have a better lie than "it saves customers money". That is the oldest lie in business and signifies that a profit making corporation is going to knowingly make less profit. That never happens on purpose. It can happen accidentally but everyone who is involved gets fired.

According to the tweet, Walmart also has digital price tags already.
