Paper price labels are being ditched for digital ones as online-style "dynamic pricing" comes to shelves in shopping centres.

    It’s a nice thought but good luck not getting caught on the 3k cameras in the store and following you to your car.

      It would be a shame if your phone was infected by a malware that rewrites all the prices in the tags in your vicinity.

          These tags are e-ink, so there could be monochrome pictures!

      Security cameras in stores are kept purposely garbage so they don’t get bugged by the police to provide footage to them. Unless something changed in the last decade since I worked in a retail joint.

        I can tell you from personal experience that there exists a very happy corporate servant who is happy to give footage to police. The security cameras in some stores are shit because the owner is cheap (this is the case with most gas stations).
