    If the prices are negotiable, imma be in there haggling like I’m at a Turkish bazaar!

    Imagine the chaos it would cause in these stores if they had to negotiate every item. If one it ten customers walked away leaving a cart full of groceries in the checkout. Fixed prices are the technology that allows these giant stores to exist. This will never work.

      Don’t think they’re planning on allowing negotiations, dynamic pricing just means the price can change (automatically) at any moment, but you’ll still have to pay the sticker price. What I wonder is what happens if the price changes in between the moment you picked up the item and when you reach the register, because at least here in Europe advertised prices are final.
