Much like his “regenerative ranching” kick, unemployed bum Clayton Tucker is getting all worked up over something when he doesn’t even have the story straight or the terms correct. But that doesn’t stop him from demanding you sign a useless petition so he can harvest your email and then send you fundraising spam forever and ever!
First the really bad news: if you are concerned that companies might alter prices right in front of your eyes, you are about a decade late to that party. You have been a “victim” of prices moving for a long time, pal. You are just apparently too retarded to realize it.
Airlines, Uber, gas stations, and many other industries/companies alter prices multiple times per day and even minute by minute! It’s called “supply and demand” and it’s what makes our system efficient.
[I can just hear Comrade Clayton now: “Imagine paying more than the person right next to you for a flight to Alaska!” LOL. That happens every day, you clown.]
I wonder what this moron does when he realizes that the gas station way out in the middle of nowhere charges 30 cents MORE per gallon than the one near mom’s house (where he lives at age 35) in Lampasas.
Does he go into the store and complain to Akshit Patel that he is “price gouging” a retarded socialist who didn’t plan ahead and fill up in Lampasas? Does he whip out a petition and loiter near the men’s room (common for him, no doubt) asking for emails so he can fundraise off of this horrible injustice?

Or does he do what the rest of us do: mutter about the “fucking jeet owner,” cough up an extra $5 and then make a mental note not to get caught out there with your pants down again. Then you get on with your life.
The “surveillance pricing” he is prattling about is pretty common ON-LINE – NOT in grocery stores. They are able to do it on-line because clowns like Clayton Tucker spend their entire lives posting free information on social media and Google searches. Other companies pay for that scraped data so they can target you and learn your habits. Everybody knows this.
It would be IMPOSSIBLE to perform “surveillance pricing” in the grocery store down to the individual level. I think that Clayton thinks there is some “all-powerful AI camera” in the middle of the store and it would look at each shopper and send out signals to the electronic price tags (more on that in a sec) to gouge the guy wearing a $5,000 suit who drove up in a Porsche 911.
[Even though this is not how it works and would be impossible to implement, wouldn’t Clayton WANT the rich-looking guy to pay more?? That’s his whole entire worldview and raison d’être: SOAK THE RICH because they stole from me! That’s the ENTIRE CRUX of the progressive income tax he adores!]

No, the electronic price tags (totally separate issue) are simply a way to save a ton of labor costs by avoiding repricing 5,000 items by hand over and over. Clayton doesn’t understand labor costs because he has never run a business or employed a single person.
He thinks grocery stores are “gouging you” when in fact, they run on razor-thin margins of about 1% to 2%. If they can save a chunk on labor costs with electronic price tags, they are DEFINITELY going to do that. I don’t blame them. It can also HELP the consumer big time:
The Many Benefits of ESLs (Electronic Shelf Labels)

So as you can see, he has completely confused and fucked up two different issues: on-line pricing and ESLs. Your local store can (and will) implement ESLs that have absolutely nothing to do with “surveillance pricing” which is an on-line phenomena.
What he fails to understand (because he is an unemployed socialist and a Poli Sci major who lives with his parents) is that you are ALWAYS free to look at ANY price (in the store or on-line) and say “that feels like a rip-off…I’m not going to buy it. I’ll wait or go somewhere else.”
But when you are a spoiled, silver spoon pussy and only-child who still lives with mommy at age 35, you think the world owes you everything at whatever price YOU think is fair and if you can’t afford it, it must be the fault of some “oligarch” somewhere and NOT your own fault for being a broke, unemployed socialist bum.
Now please sign my petition to have Clayton Tucker slapped in the face for being a dumb shit for the 57th time in a row.
