Oh Ffs, what a fucking idiot, or liar, probably both.

Of course that's the whole fucking point, you over-educated fucktard.

I mean there are clear savings advantages to switching to electronic tags. It takes like 30 to 100 man hours every week to swap out labels depending on store size. Thats like 20 to 50k a year you can save on labor by just having them automatically update each week.

Plus the tags/price strips right now aren't free. Probably another 5k you save a year
