A supermarket trip may soon look different, thanks to electronic shelf labels (www.npr.org)

Grocery store prices are changing faster than ever before — literally. This month, Walmart became the latest retailer to announce it’s replacing the price stickers in its aisles with electronic shelf labels. The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds....

All companies that plan to have dynamic pricing, please let me know.

I've already stopped going to Wendy's; I'd love to add you to the list of places never to patron again.

Truck_kun ,

I have no actual list outside my head.

atm, Wendy's because of their plan for dynamic pricing based on how busy they are, and 'my local KFC', because in 2017 I had to wait 50 minutes for my order (for 2), and they gave away the last of something I ordered to someone who came in like half an hour later, and they weren't going to be making more. (that and KFC is way over priced for their standard menu if you aren't getting some kind of 'deal')

Not if you add it to a non-dischargable debt the inmate has to repay, and attach any wages to repay it, including government assistance, such as welfare. ♻️♺

A few years ago, wasn't there a company (maybe it was uber?) that was being overwhelmed by arbitration fee's for a large number of arbitration cases?
I forget the outcome, but it may be due to their agreement stipulating they would cover arbitration fees.
Either way, forced arbitration needs to go.

For compliance with EU's GDPR and CA's CPRA, they should have some tools to remove information.

Whether those are available to you will depend on where you live, and the companies policy.

To be clear, CA in this case is California, not Canada. But if you are on midwest.social, i'll assume you are in the Midwest. More states need to adopt some kind of similar legislation.

Burger King has a new burger that I like, and it's $10 (burger only). I would order it lots if it was $7 to 8, but $10 is a tad much.

Eating out now days is just too expensive in general. If I'm going to eat out, I rather go to an actual restaurant, because fast food costs about the same now days. $14-16 fast food mean vs $12-22 for sit down meal. I can keep the fast food costs down, but that's usually without a meal, and/or ordering inferior products.

I'm with you, but for my wife's sake I'd move Dr. Pepper at least one tier above all others.

Yeah, basically you're a millennial if you're currently in your 30's. If you're within a few years of that age, you may technically be a millennial, or even if not, you may still consider yourself a millennial, and that is fine. Generations are gradients, there is no firm start, or end, and as stated, is more about generalized experiences of your age group.

If you are 25 and want to call yourself a millennial, that's fine, if you want to call yourself a gen z/zoomer, that's fine too.

This of course refers mostly to salaried workers, as, at least in the us, hourly gets overtime pay at 1.5x normal pay. Up to an extent, many workers appreciate the extra pay.

Not always though, as even then, some companies want lower workforce, and will work them half to death.

Until recent times, I've always thought a govt job was a good thing to have.

Still is, but the constant threat of government shutdowns, in the US at least, as of late, make me feel you need to live below your means and keep a decent chunk of 3 to 6 months pay, because you could suddenly be without pay for a good chunk of time because some idiots think they score political points, or will get their way, by hurting citizens.
