    Prices change while you’re shopping? I foresee a lot of restocking happening if that’s the case.

    If my milk increases 50¢ in the time it takes me to walk it up to the register, I’m just gonna leave that f*cker in the bagging area and walk out.

      In the article, the owner using it says he only decreases price while you shop, since having increases during shopping would push customers away, and he’s absolutely right it would. So price increases would only happen overnight/closed hours. The owner talks about competing his low prices with competitors so it can be a race to the bottom. But I doubt most companies would use the pricing this way, most likely there will be surge pricing during weekends and after work.
