I will institute my own "dynamic pricing" scheme if this ever happens

I don't know what you're talking about, I'm obviously not gonna steal anything. Sure, accidents happen from time to time. The supermarket decided to replace their cashiers with self checkout operated by random non-employees, after all. If I happen to ring up filet mignon as a Roma tomato, I think that's just the inevitable result of outsourcing your labor to untrained civilians with no incentive to accurately do the job .

Is it really dynamic if the price is always "free"?

Finally, a practical reason to have a flipper zero or similar.

Haha, that's a perfect application for an otherwise almost useless (but incredible) device

If the price changes for them specifically, yes. That's the entire concept they're pushing here.

Its much easier than you'd think.
