That sounds extremely problematic for consumers when the price can be change so easily. I would be hesitant to buy anything from there knowing that I may spend a lot more money from picking the item of the shelf and the cash register.
Yeah it's one of those things that needs to be stopped - preferably by legislation - yesterday. And you won't have any choice not to shop they're because everyone is starting to do it
