Why doesn’t your grocery store charge $20 for a gallon of milk then if they can just raise prices as much as they want? Have you never even heard of supply and demand?

Discount on self-checkout passes.
Stores raise prices so that the price after the discount is the same as it was before.
Consumers continue to pay the prices they've been paying.
'Discount' evaporates into the aether.
