In my neighborhood they lower the price of slush drinks during heat waves. Seems like a better tactic than raising it but what do I know .

I obviously haven’t managed a jcpenny. so can we do the math on that then? how much did your department store pay for thermal printed stickers?

Good news: I really doubt anyone bothers or is even allowed to change the company default password. I would also recommend changing various items to funny numbers, condoms are 69 cents, everything gun or flag is 666 dollars, cookies and crisps are 4.20 and so forth.

Maybe it was an urban legend but I thought soda machines could already do this for many years, raising prices when the temperature or time of day hit a particular threshold.

I mean, price gouging is hoarding, but if it's a corporation does it, it is good instead of bad because corporations are great and people are disgusting and weak.
