alt Hacker NewsHuh, with eInk prices, how do customers prove "Wait, the price on the shelf was different!", the store can just change the price as they go to double-check. As a customer you can take a picture of the price, but then it'll be an argument of "This picture is old/doctored/AI".
Of course the chances of this sort of scam happening are probably not that high, but hey, considering the country is rotting more and more, from the top...

This is what discovery is for. Changing e-ink tags has an audit trail associated with it.

Snap a pic I guess, there are many ways to game this either way, but if people start catching stores do this then it could lead to issues for the store.

Even with paper tags, the store can't get someone to change the price while you're waiting at the cashier for a "manager" to show up?
