Does this mean flyers with listed prices are now useless.

What happens when the marked price on a shelf changes when I get to the cash register. Currently I walk away from a grocery cart of food if there is any hassle at the till. They can deal with it.

How are you supposed to plan trips when the the price is always changing

Yes, and it would make price matching and planning ahead obsolete, too.

Basically, this is designed to maximize profits by “optimizing” how customers get screwed over.

At minimum it should not be allowed to change prices while the store is open to customers. (I guess with an exception for 24/7 stores)

And/or limit the number of price changes on any item to one per 24 hours, or 2 per 7 days, or something like that.
