I remember the days wyen every product was required ta have a price tag on it to avoid similar situations long before AI. You'd see a label in the aisle, then get charged a different price at the register.

Wanna bet they try that move again next? Using facial recognition and buying habits, upcharge the customer when they get to the register based on high confidence that the customer isn't paying close attention.
