This is the worst thing I have ever read.

Like gently caress me capitalism, If John Full Time can only afford to do groceries on a weekend and you surge price up your poo poo because of it simply being a weekend then John Full Time is just going to go to the fruit shop instead or a farmers market.

It also doesn't sound like it would work unless you evict everyone from the store.

If the price can change between you picking up them item and getting to the checkout it's going to cause immense frustration

This is actually illegal too if the sale price is more than the advertised price. As someone who works in retail this would be an absolute loving nightmare.

Well I mean, its a choice that won't benefit the supermarkets but instead cause John Part Time to go to an old fashioned store with printed pricing because lets face it, not every fruit shop can afford or bother with E-Ink screens on every item.

Just wont have prices displayed on the shelf, so you scan it with your phone which shows the price and adds it to your basket, locking the price in, which then deducts from your ShopWallet you add funds to or loving whatever.

Honestly I don't see it as a bad thing on the face of it, the majors will quickly learn when they can charge more (or less) because their sales numbers will reflect it. It will put a lot of shoppers collective nose out of joint for a while but they'll adapt.

Hell if it gets too much of an issue it becomes political and lo, suddenly they become the new punching bag after the banks.

The worst thing about it will be how many loving editorials we'll have to read about how the reason the poors are struggling is because they aren't shopping at the right time and if they only did that they'd be as rich as me, a smart person in journalism in TYOOL 2022.

I care when I encounter people on bikes ether very late at night or very early in the morning when I'm on the way to work and they are not far left enough and/or also not wearing clothing that actually reflects my headlights, the only saving grace is a little blinking red light to let me notice they are there or said bike thinking it would be a good idea to make a right hand turn just round a corner with no indication that he was going to do so, I also care that I have to share the road with people who have not had any testing done to prove that they know what road rules apply to them when they take their particular mode of transport on to the roads.

Additionally, that's a nice list of concerns about bikes that all center on you hitting a dumb cyclist with your car. Not to mention the cyclist you cited would be sanctioned by a cop if seen, the same as anyone else.

I feel like if you forwarded your last couple of posts to the Herald Sun you would see some pretty exciting traction and cut through.

Pretty much all of this applies to pedestrians (if not more - people walking don't need flashing lights) and I doubt you'd complain so hard about them.

You should be complaining that we hardly have any seperated bike lanes, or any bike infrastructure at all. That's a far bigger safety issue than anything you mentioned.

But then they have to register the bike because it's not fair that those people get bike lanes for free.

Pleas amend your attitude as well if you would like to make a post on these, the Something Awful . com forums.
