I can only see it working when the prices are changed for a full day, after the store is closed/before they open.

I can see how it would be feasible to change each day. I still hate it though.

Why? I can match the till and tag automatically and slip in a 30 minute grace period between. The number of customers who would be impacted would likely be marginal.

It definitely takes me longer than 30 mins to get through the store.

But the “why” is that I think a single customer being overcharged by this system is too many. I know it happens a lot by accident at the moment because staff screw up the paper price tags, but having it by design is no longer an honest mistake.

And worse, the answer to this problem is probably going to be “facial recognition” and I hate that even more.
