And they're already dogshit in practice. Some of them are broken, we can't tell where to put things because the stupid digital interface glitches. People misplace them. They aren't properly installed or they're a pain to install. They don't even blink when you try to find something.

Oh yeah, what a wonderful investment...

Yeah they break way too easily. I swear half the ones on the bottom shelf are wrecked from carts hitting them where i work.

Sure. But still better than what the likely endgame of digital price adjustments might be. It can never be good for the customer when the store has an easier time dynamically adjusting prices.
