I need some work done and many recommended Base Analytics so I thought to check their website for pricing and looks like they will only share their pricing if I contact them. I really hate such companies.

      Probably so they can Target you with an algorithmic price point, but if that’s not it, it’s so they can change their prices without having to pay someone to retag all the stuff

      Saves them having to reprint the tags when prices change I guess, but as others suggest it might also be for tracking.

      Yeah, I don’t shop at places like that. If you have a product on a shelf and I can’t find a price tag, I don’t buy it.

      Why? Just… why?

      It allows them to change the pricing dynamically and on a whim, without the use of stuff like wireless programmable e-ink tags (like I’ve seen in grocery stores) so they reduce staffing and maximize profit.
