Comment Missing the important pledge (Score 1) 54

If they could just pledge not to change prices during standard business hours, or save it until overnight for 24 hour locations, their pledge would mean something.

I'm all for getting rid of the waste from paper tags that sometimes don't get updated. But the price on the item when it goes in my cart had better still be the price by the time it makes it to the register.

New term for me. I gave it more credit than it deserved, because it originally sounded more clever. It's something that looks like a news site but isn't - sort of like bone scrapings look like real meat but...mostly actually are (except for the ground bone fragments). I actually guessed it was related to how many clickbait sites featured articles and pictures of pink slime, which would make it a much more fitting name.

Once they sell the movie rights, they lose the tax write-off and owe taxes on it once again (but on the $50 million sale price, not the $30 million write-off amount).

$50 + $10 million is what Ketchup put in (they spent the marketing, not WB). They are getting roughly half of ticket proceeds (WB gets nothing). So to make back $60 million, they need $120 million in total sales.

I don't think that's what this means, though I'm not creating an account to read the full article. It identifies marks like bumper stickers in *addition* to the license plate. So even if you miss the plates (or the suspect changes plates), you can identify it by other means. This would be like identifying a person by tattoos when you can't get a good photo of their face.
