      Uh not instantly. Not storewide in a moment. Make it networked and you can change prices per customer as they walk each aisle.

        And that’s my point. The digital tags are already being setup that they can adjust within under a minute. People get off work at 4-5pm, better jack up prices for the next few hours!

        A bunch of people buying bread at a given time, jack up prices!

        Recorded a larger number of people entering through the front turnstile. Yup, pump up those prices!
