Eh, I'm sure it'll be fine. No need to be alarmist, like they were about Trump.

NPR's Planet Money looked at a grocery store in Norway. They had a reporter sitting in the store's HQ, and they had received a secret shopper report that a particular product (can of mushrooms in water) was 0.20 Kroner less at a competitor. The reporter watched the price get updated in the chain's central database, then ran down to the store that was below the HQ and saw the shelf tag change about 9 minutes later.

That particular store has a policy of not increasing prices while the store was open, they could only lower them.
Stores will have to set good policies and follow them. Stores open 24/7 will probably have to have set times to raise prices.

Nothing to see here, just normal day-to-day government work circumventing the 4th amendment by outsourcing data collection to the private sector. This kind of thing happens all the time.

Which is what these greedy out-of-control AI fuckwits are doing in a more diffuse manner.
There's non-destructive ways to scan books, that probably are just as fast as what these negligent morons are doing. It's just plain greed above all else.
This kind of behavior tells you who these people are. And why they should be shunned. It's starting to look like good people need to take action to stop their destructive rampage.
