So, if I grab an item off the shelf and browse around the store for a while, is the price going to be the price currently displayed or the price when I grabbed it?

If it's the current price, what's the point of a price tag? If I can't actually know the price until checkout, then showing me the price is kind of a useless bit of data. I also suspect that the "speak to a manager" types would make that a major headache for stores.

If it's the price when I grabbed it, how are they keeping track of that? I see two ways of handling that: one requires that you use their app to shop, and the other requires cameras and "machine vision" that are still unreliable, at best. The former seems more likely, but I doubt either is going to sit well with customers.

Edit: someone pointed out that it might not actually display a price, and you'd have to scan it to get your price. Kind of like the first option, but I think it's going to turn off less tech savvy customers.

I haven't seen that aspect addressed in any articles about the "feature".

I'm choosing to see the horn as it's upper lip, and it's actually having the best time.

Thanks! It's surprisingly difficult to get Germans to correct me on things. Most of them are just happy that I can speak it at all, so they tell me not to worry about the little stuff. 😂

Was Sprachen Sie spricht? (Deutsch/German)

I'm not a native speaker, but I'm pretty sure it's

Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie?

assuming you want to be formal, which feels a little weird to me in the context of an internet forum.

Edit: but to answer your question: fluent English, mehr als ein Bißchen Deutsch, y un poquito Español.

For the first 80% of your comment, I was definitely picturing a small backpack on the bird, and I was wondering what the purpose of tiny perches would be.

Well, you could do the 31st of April, but it seems the universe disagrees with your date format.

The idea of "standing" has never really sat right with me.

"Sure, the law seems pretty unconstitutional, but until it actually hurts someone, why should we fix it?"

Maybe because you have the power to fix a bad thing.

Did you put your name in the goblet of forgiveness?
