    Elsewhere in the anglosphere I’ve been seeing these for a few years now and it just makes way more sense than the manual labour overhead of printing and replacing paper tags in the little plastic holders. The only kind of price variation at these stores is they change which items are on special offer each week, or seasonal variations on how hard it is to get fruits and vegetables, things they were doing anyway with paper tags. Electronic tags doesn’t necessarily mean a change in how pricing is done, but I guess with the way the world is going, some skepticism is always helpful. Don’t go all conspiracy-theory on it though.
