I don’t understand why consumer protection advocates aren’t screaming from the roof tops and filing law suits. This seems like price discrimination at a minimum.

Dynamic pricing is one terrible thing, but the dynamic wages that Uber, DoorDash, etc. are essentially doing is just evil

We haven't gone to Walmart since this spring because we watched two prices increase right in front of us at things we stood there and looked at. It was only $.10-.$20 but it is still predatory AF.
