Yes they are.
They started with digital price tags stating it would “save the customer money” which is absolute bullshit. Adding a new tech-laden system to quickly adjust pricing isn’t saving anyone money, it’s a way to make more money.

These things can save the store mone in the long run, but if I ever have the price change between picking an item up and checkout that’s an instant manager lecture and walkout.

They tried to walk it back by claiming “we’d only be doing this to reduce prices” which clearly shows they want to do it but are trying to introduce it in a way to minimize outcry if they can.
