On a related note, my local Giant Eagle grocery store has discounts on certain items. Just scan the item’s bar code, and a discount will be applied.
Well, I don’t know how the hell that’s supposed to work. I don’t have a smart phone. And I don’t know how scanning an item will somehow make my bill lower at the register.
So how’s about this, Giant Eagle? How’s about putting a tag on the shelf where the item is? “On sale. $2.00, reduced to $1.50.”
Pretty straightforward, eh?
Fry’s (Kroger) and Safeway both have “digital sale prices” . A regular package of Oreos was on the endcap at Safeway for $5.99 or $2.99 with the Safeway app. For all of Walmart’s evil, at least they are not doing that…yet.
