As you stand there and wait for that digital price on that item to lower, because you figured out if you wait, the price will drop slowly, you can watch an ad while you wait and knock off additional pricing!

Then our lives are people standing around in grocery stores waiting for prices to drop, and those that can't afford the time, will pay the fast premium price!

Then when all the prices and this practice normalizes... you compare to what it used to be like.

And the prices we pay now requires wait 2+ min per item... and more money and profits go to the corporations as a whole.
