The era of price extraction is here, Yetis.

So we've got your back with a field guide.

Oh, Walmart, always low prices.

Always?

Yeah, Walmart has saved millions of Americans billions of dollars with their very low prices.

It's a fair point, Jack.

With the smiley face stickers they used to give out at the entrance, the greeters may need to bring those back sometime soon.

Because two separate reports suggest that surge pricing is coming to Walmart

in an aisle near you.

I mean, Jack, add it all up.

I'm looking at the whiteboard here.

This is our third story on this kind of topic in three months, right, man?

True.

Instacart and Uber Eats both got caught offering different prices to different people.

We should point out Walmart's a slightly different story, but it is directionally the same.

We are living in a priceocracy, baby.

Because here's the news.

Walmart told CNBC that all their US stores would retire their price stickers by the end of the year and replace them with digital shelf labels that can instead be updated instant.

No more price stickers, price screens.

Now we should point out also, Jack, that Walmart says this is not personalized pricing, right, my friend?
