Potentially every 10 seconds. So you put the item in your cart at one price, and then discover it's a different price at checkout.
I hope shoppers start dumping a bunch of these back on the store, and they are forced to restock them. Would serve them right. It's the only thing that will impact it it: make it an expensive hassle for them.
Note that those 10 seconds are really just the theoretical capability of the digital price tags. The same way you could replace the paper version once per second. Otherwise yes, shitty.
Refrigerated or frozen items can't be restocked, there's no real way to tell how long they've been out of refridgeration. Hit em in the pocket books.
some minimum-wage retail worker shouldn't be punished for the decisions of corporate. they have zero control over this, and their complaints will just be ignored by corporate anyway.
I considered that, but the worker gets paid the same either way. Most of them really don't care. Restocking is no worse than ringing up a bunch of people and bagging.
And I disagree that corporate won't notice. They track everything in detail. The POS system will record refused items.
as a retail employee myself, i assure you that standing still and pushing buttons would be preferable to all of the added work that comes with restocking something.
and i said corporate would ignore their complaints, not that they wouldn't notice them.
They won't ignore the metrics. They obsess over them, so the larger point stands. My brother consults with Wal Mart and Kroger, I know what I'm talking about.
I have worked multiple minimum wage jobs. I have friends who worked in grocery stores. I'm not talking from no experience.
You're really stretching to win an internet argument here, when we're basically on the same side (I assume)...which is price gouging customers is bad.
corporate pays attention to one metric: profit line go up or go down. walmart is famous for not giving a damn about their employees.
lol, no. i'm here to have a nice discussion. i'm not having an argument, certainly not one i feel needs "winning". if you're going to get hostile over nothing, then i'm done here.
