So they could potentially change the prices while I'm still shopping? I'm not sure I like that "Oh that was the price 5 minutes ago now it's twice as much..."

Gertie,
Our local Kohl's department store in California has these tags on all of its merchandise. The prices do not change while the store is open.

#15 Many places in North America also gone with digital tags. They save big on paper but the batteries are a pain. They were to last 3-5 years lucky to get a year out of them depending on how often the price changes. Someone who changed the paper tags now has to change batteries full time.

A few of these make me think the lawyers haven't arrived in these countries yet. Piano keys painted on stairs to encourage customers to dance. Sidewalk trampolines surrounded by concrete, you know, for the kids.

Madge, In Estonia, there are these trampolines near kindergartens and schools. These rubber bands are quite stiff, you can't jump very high there. The surface is not made of concrete, but rather of the rubber material from which running tracks are made in the stadium. Those trampolines with springs that anyone can buy for their backyard are dangerous. You can jump over the roof from them, or if the rubber fabric has become brittle in the sun's UV rays, you can also fall through.

Madge, in properly developed countries people are responsible for their own actions. Only in really shitty countries can you sue someone else for getting hurt when you do something stupid.

Yes, and if you have an iPhone all you have to do is say, "Siri, please wash the inside of my colon." Siri likes that.
