    I guess we’ll have to take photos of every item we pick from the shelves, so if the register attempts to charge more, or somehow misses a sale, we will have to get our phones out and say hey this was the price when i picked it. Great. Fantastic. Precisely the sort of simplicity and ease to be expected of advanced technology.

      Someone will have to start a website to track item prices so we can work out when the cheapest time to buy something is.

      I’m store item prices will be the next gas prices.

        and if they pull and rfid off your phone, or a bluetooth/wifi ping to of the apps you have running in the background like the walmart app, and are pricing per individual, it won’t matter what time you go to shop, your price is gonna be your price whenever you show up
