It’s not a dystopian future, it’s a dystopian present.
If Congress is really concerned m about surge pricing, they should pass a law that pricing must be the same for everyone across all stores.
also prices for food items shouldnt be able to change when the store is open
There’s this thing in Canada that most grocers belong to called the Retail Council of Canada’s Scanner Price Accuracy Code where basically if the price that shows up on the scanner when you’re paying for your stuff is inaccurate and it’s higher than the stated price on the shelf or in the flyers that you get the item for free or up to $10 off if the price is greater than $10. This would presumably not fly here if they tried upping the price on you at the cashier or the self-serve scanners.
So, pro tip to Canadians: watch what you’re paying at the scanner, ‘cause you can get a pile of stuff for free if you’re paying attention.
