    Two major supermarkets do this in the UK now. I fucking hate it, it should be illegal. I also noticed recently a store with digital price labels. Combine the two and we’re marching towards the news in the post at a breakneck speed.

    Many supermarkets do adjust their prices based on the average income of the location they’re in, so this isn’t really different in some ways.
