If the price can change between picking up an item and checkout, they're going to be slammed so hard on false advertising charges that it'll make their shareholders' heads spin.

I see a product on the shelf for $1, then when I make it to the cashier it's $1.50? That's illegal. Bait and switch.

And what they are not telling you is that these "electronic tags" are also easily knocked down, prone to catching on fire and, think about it, the more "electronic" they become, the more susceptible they are to hacks.

Walmart is officially going full force and is rolling out digital price tags in all 4,600 US stores, with digital screens replacing paper price tags by the end of 2026. Every shelf. Every store. All controlled remotely from one central system. This gives Walmart the ability to change the price of any product at any moment. Based on demand, time of day, inventory levels, or whatever algorithm they choose. And the moment Walmart moves, every major retailer in the country will follow. Once everything turns digital, it's game over.

According to one customer, people are damaging the digital pricing labels at his grocery store. Despite outcry from consumers across the country, multiple giant supermarket chains are implementing digital price labels and dynamic pricing strategies where the cost of items fluctuate frequently based on multiple factors. Walmart, the country's largest grocer, hopes to have digital price labels at 2,300 U.S. stores by 2026. Kroger is expanding the use of digital labels this year after testing them at 20 stores. Whole Foods is testing the labels in nearly 50 stores. Customers worry these digital labels will let companies raise prices at a moment's notice, making greater profits off essential items at the grocery store.

Stores like Wal-Mart are literally price gouging us. This is called “surge pricing,” based on demand and time of day, they now can change prices on these digital price tags on the fly.

Walmart announces nationwide digital price tags by 2027 “America's biggest retailers rolling out digital shelf price labels for all its stores by the end of the year —The move is somewhat controversial as some are worried that having the ability to quickly adapt price labels on the fly could lead to things like demand-based pricing that shifts prices for higher or lower, depending on how changing dynamics happen for supply chains”

Imagine needing to buy water on a hot day only to find the price went up because of the weather or worse, because a company decided YOU should pay more because of your search history. This is wrong. My bill bans electronic shelf labels and surveillance pricing in grocery stores.

🚨 MAN WALKS INTO WALMART AND EXPOSES THE DIGITAL PRICE TAG SCAM — THIS IS HOW THEY'RE MAKING MILLIONS MORE OFF YOU A shopper films inside Walmart… and shows every price tag quietly replaced with digital screens. Not paper. Not fixed. They can change instantly. • Prices shift throughout the day • Go up when it’s busy… drop when it’s slow • Updated across the entire store in seconds • Same item… slightly different price depending on timing • He shows this is happening across almost every shelf Tiny increases… a few cents at a time… across thousands of products. That adds up to millions more, straight from customers who don’t even notice. So the price you see? It might not be what it was earlier. And it might not be what the next person pays. He says this is just the beginning… • Constant price testing • Slow increases over time • Dialing in exactly what people will tolerate Same product. Same shelf. But the price? Always moving. Are you okay with prices changing behind the scenes… or does this feel like something people should be paying attention to?

FTC documents show Pepsi is price fixing The FTC looked at internal emails with Pepsi and Walmart, they found they act as one company and Pepsi even takes action against grocery stores and other chains like Target if they price Pepsi as cheaply as Walmart does “The FTC looked at a bunch of internal Pepsi emails and communications. The executives at Pepsi would talk about Walmart's prices as our prices. As if this is, this is all one big company — Big rivals like Target, small mom and pop shops, regional chains, everywhere it could keep an eye on it, it did. And where it found that Pepsi prices in those other stores were getting low enough to really compete with Walmart, with all of the discounts and all of the other things that it was giving Walmart, it took action against those other stores. What does that look like? It reduced their deals, it reduced the discounts they were giving these other retailers. It even increased their wholesale prices, started to kind of ratchet it up more and more every year so that the price of Pepsi products at every other store that wasn't a Walmart were artificially higher for the consumer than they would have been if there was actual competition between Walmart and these stores. These stores wanted to push the prices down, but Pepsi simply wouldn't let them by charging them more” This is price fixing and illegal

Marc Andreessen: “I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices.” “We spend a lot of time working with our companies on pricing,” a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen explains. “It’s really this magical art and science that a lot of companies don’t take seriously enough.” Marc continues: “A core principle of pricing is that you don’t want to price by cost if you can avoid it. You want to price by value. Especially when you’re selling to businesses, you want to price as a percentage of the business value you’re creating.” He gives the example of building an AI that can do the job of a programmer, a lawyer, or a radiologist: “Can you price by value and get a percentage of what otherwise would’ve literally been a person? Or equivalently can you price by marginal productivity? If you can take a human doctor and make them much more productive because you give them AI, can you price as a percentage of the productivity uplift?” Marc argues that high prices are under-appreciated by founders: “The naive view on pricing is the lower the pricing, the better it is for the customer. The more sophisticated way of looking at it is that higher prices are often good for the customer because the higher price means the vendor can make the product better, faster. Companies with higher prices and higher margins can actually invest more in R&D and make the product better. Most people who buy things aren’t just looking for the cheapest price. They want something that’s going to work really well.” Marc also emphasizes this point in an interview in Elad Gil’s High Growth Handbook: “What I hear from companies is, ‘Oh, we have an awesome moat, and we’re still going to price our product cheap, because we think that’s somehow going to maximize our business.’ I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. First of all, raising prices is a great way to flesh out whether you actually do have a moat. If you do have a moat, the customers will still buy, because they have to. The definition of a moat is the ability to charge more. And so number one, it’s just a good way to flesh out that topic and really expose it to sunlight. And then number two, companies that charge more can better fund both their distribution efforts and their ongoing R&D efforts. Charging more is a key lever to be able to grow. And the companies that charge more therefore tend to grow faster. That’s counterintuitive to a lot of engineers. A lot of engineers think there’s a one-dimensional relationship between price and value. They have this mental model of commerce like they’re selling rice or something. It’s like, “My product is magical and nobody can replicate it, and I need to price it like it’s a commodity.” No, you don’t. In fact, quite the opposite. If you price it high, then you can fund a much more expensive sales and marketing effort, which means you’re much more likely to win the market, which means you’re much more likely to be able afford to do all the R&D and acquisitions you’re going to want to do. And so we always try to snap people into a two-dimensional mindset, where higher prices equals faster growth.” Source: a16z (Jan 2026)

Investigation finds the reason why prices on everyday products never seem to go down Walmart is making secret deals with major Big Food companies to set the price of items. If a different store chain tries to sell an item for cheaper, big food companies create plans to force those stores to increase their prices to be higher than Walmart prices. They do things like cut their promotion rates and increase their wholesale rates Because of this, Walmart sets the floor price. Whatever Walmart charges, no company can sell for cheaper because these secret deals will find ways to force those stores to increase their prices This means prices can never go down because there is no competition, Walmart sets our prices for products with these secret deals

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it." And the exact emails are now PUBLIC. Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem. The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately." Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call. Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price. Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed. Same playbook with Hanes: Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased." Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins. But it gets even worse... Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site. Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing. They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS. The mechanism is simple but terrifying: If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers. Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings." Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products. Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform. So turns out, you were never comparison shopping. You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors. "Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable." 3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on. This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat. And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE. "Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

Powerful corporate elites made BILLIONS of dollars in profits manipulating the price of eggs as they used liberal media to blame the inflated prices on President Trump. If corporations can rig the price of a food nearly every American household depends on with zero admission of guilt, what actually stops the next company from running this exact play on the next necessity?

🚨 SURVEILLANCE PRICING HAS HIT FAST FOOD — SHAKE SHACK IS JUST THE BEGINNING Shake Shack just got caught quietly raising prices mid-order. Two customers ordered shakes. The moment they went to pay, every single item jumped 50 cents when they chose "no tip." No explanation. Just a “pricing update.” They’re not alone. Wendy’s already announced it will test surge pricing. Chick-fil-A got sued and paid out millions for secretly jacking up delivery menu prices. Now Walmart and other big retailers are rolling out digital shelf labels that can change prices instantly using AI. The end goal? Personalized pricing... where the system charges you a different price than the person standing next to you based on what it knows about you. They’re turning every purchase into a surveillance trap. Would you walk out of a restaurant if the price suddenly changed while you were checking out?

Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton on US easing sanctions on Russia for lower oil prices: I think they drank a lot of vodka in the Kremlin when they heard that news. This is an absolute gift to the Russians. Obviously, you want to do what you can to bring the price of oil down. Giving a gift to the Kremlin - wrong answer.
