Groceries pricing cannot be subjective! An item costs X amount, and that’s it!

Thanks!!

We cannot make the weather pay their fair share for groceries?

The two that voted no need to be replaced.

Vote out the two who voted in favor of price gouging the public.

Who were the two?

Well, if Elon gets charged $1B for a banana then I might be ok with it.

I was not aware this was even a thing until today!

KOMO Conspiracy News 4 doesn't seem very happy about...Not that they support anything the mayor supports...they also seem mad that Seattle hasn't installed cameras at the Seattle Center...I guess they think the cameras would have stopped the shooting??

I foresee a new type of service: poor people with low algorithmic prices buying food for people with higher algorithm prices... until the algorithm figures it out and ultimately starts charging everyone the same...

I think that only looks like my friend Neil had his hair beard colored...

Not the first... mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/L... Food Retailers and Third-Party Delivery Service Providers - Dynamic Pricing and Personal Data (Protection From Predatory Pricing Act)

I'd like to see hackers make all the vegan food free, though

Why would two people vote yes for this??

Pricing should be clearly marked by sticker or sign. If they want to change the price every second, they need to do the work.

So basically out of every 10 people in society there are approximately 2-3 psychopaths.

Now let’s get this passed at a federal level! Somebody better have a bill for it.

Follow New York’s lead and open city grocery stores Bypass the price gouging corporations

What's the the 2 supporting this rip off pricing scam?

The technocrats really want to bring back haggling. 🙄

Who are the 2 idiots who voted no? Must be Republicans.

Needs to be done in every State.

Who the hell votes against that?

it would charge people different prices

Mainly targeting online shopping I think. Also, how many people compare their receipts or would remember what the advertised price was, especially on groceries?

Nuts. The price should be the price for everyone. Bet Amazon does algorithmic pricing.

Congratulations Seattle! You set the pace!

Who in the fuck even suggested this pricing strategy? Because they need to be strapped to a rocket and launched into the sun. As well as the 2 votes in favor.

Conservatives rape women and children.

Seattle is banger after banger!

That's great!

This is a terrible blow to the neophyte Seattle African-American Secret Shoppers Association (SAASSA).

Price profiling is so Orwellian. Shiver.

Is there an exception for morons wearing MAGA hats?

Same

that's what I want to know too. We know at least one of 'em has to be Bob Kettle

I would guess it was ideologically based on the misguided notion that inhibiting businesses in making decisions that increase their profit cannot be infringed upon. As idiot, yes, but I doubt criminal.

I'll tell you who. Two assholes who handed their next election opponent a nuclear weapon.

And then you have to wonder who are those 2 people amd what is their rationale.

Seattle is also outlawing “junk” fees charged by landlords to tenants. Those darn socialists are ruining everything for the leisure class!

💪

Grocery prices should be set by the federal government. Profits from food sales should be outlawed.

💙 Amen, AMEN, A-M-E-N! 😓8😥6💔4😡7🤬 & his MAGA MAFIA! FOXTROT DELTA TANGO!

Didn’t even know this was a thing! Beyond disgusted!

If only Los Angeles had a mayor with integrity and not corrupt Karen Bass. Vote billionaire buddy and Gestapo LAPD protector Karen Bass out in November. Vote for Nithya Raman. Raman's platform focuses on progressive policies like affordable housing, environmental justice, and community engagement

Price gouging is the raising the prices of essential goods, services, or commodities to an unfairly high and unreasonable level. If the price is normally X and the price is inexplicably raised to Xx10, your experiencing gouging. 1/2

To me, one thing that might qualify is charging much more because it’s a healthier option, not because it cost more to produce. I know that’s basic capitalism, but it still sucks for people on a budget trying to feed their families better.

Send this to your state legislators

“But it should prevent algorithms from gouging based on life circumstances like pregnancy, grief, or income” — I can understand the feelings about the first two, but I’d assume that stores would tend to charge people on higher incomes _more_. The reverse wouldn’t make sense from a profit standpoint.

That’s illegal. Prices must match. It may happen but I’ve never encountered it in 30+ years of driving.

Whomever was the 2 opposing votes should be drummed out of that office permanently shows us what they are immediately. Plus no company or business should be doing this at ALL anywhere it's price gouging pretty despicable.

Check into the 2 no votes. They’re benefiting somehow.

Dosen't say in the article

Which 2 lovers voted against it?

Real time pricing? Is thst a thing in thr USA ?. HOLY FUCK

Another reason we’re pound-for-pound the best city in the nation. Wanna complain about the grey days? Yell at a wall. No better place in the US🤘

Grocery Stores and Super Walmarts have been gouging Consumers for years..and people shrug and just pay ..No accountability no oversight of the Grocery Industry..people are just used to Stores giving them Coupons to an already over inflated Food Product..it's American Insanity.

They are the most likely ones to use it. Just a guess. Plus smaller grocers already have the deck stacked against them ever since Ronald stopped enforcing Robinson-Patman Act, which resulted in the growth and monopolies of super grocers, which has led to higher prices for everyone.

@tucsonward3office.bsky.social

Get rid if the 2. Vote them out.
