How does that "individual pricing in grocery stores" work? Does that mean the price can change from the time you take it off the shelf to the time you check out? How does that match the "economic agreement"? (which depends on full information on both sides).

At least airplane and online store prices lock in the individual price when you select it. It doesn't suddenly change at the payment page. Although, I'm sure that's the next enshitification step...

Speaking from a place of no actual information except from reading patents, as well as how Amazon whole foods does constant tracking and facial identification, it seems like it would be pretty easy for them to match up displayed price to charged price that way. Gives me the creeps every time I go in there.

@adredish @pluralistic since online shopping is already dynamic it makes sense for stores to match. Probably you put items in your cart by scanning the QR code with your phone so that’s the price you get.
