Key Points
Walmart is rolling out digital shelf labels and expects the technology to be in all U.S. stores by year’s end. Kroger also has begun experimenting with the technology.
The nation’s largest retailer says the digital price tags help associates do their jobs better and stresses that prices on items will be exactly the same for every consumer in every store.
Some legislators are wary of the technology’s potential to be used in dynamic pricing models that disadvantage consumers, with Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) introducing a bill to ban it.
Meh I knew someone who got a job there a couple years ago and they said they were enjoying it at the time. It may vary by area. I’ve certainly never had the issues you were discussing of not finding things where they were supposed to be or everything being a mess. I remember Kmart being that sloppy in the 90s sometimes though.
I go to Walmart about once a year and regret it every time.
