Not to intimate that this is going on here, but as grocers replace sticky tags on the shelf with electronic tags it is certainly possible.

I worked enough retail to be excited for these electronic tags for the employees. Putting up permanent shelf tags plus weekly sales tags flat out sucks. Hours every week devoted to taking down old ad tags and putting up new ones, bending down repeatedly to get to the lower shelves or reaching up to get the higher ones, and then someone forgets a tag and a customer pitches a fit at the register because the item rang up "wrong." I could go on.

Dynamic pricing may be possible with electronic tags, but that is not why retailers are interested in them. It's really so they can cut labor costs by not having employees putting up tags every week.

And price gouging too.

I'm so sorry. Sending all the good thoughts and well wishes to her, and to you. I hope all turns out okay for her.

It doesn't matter how much you post, it's a community here and I'm glad you reached out.  I'm sure you've sent virtual love and support - and laughs - to others.
