    Looks like e-ink. A thumb tack taped to your thumb should take care of these pretty quick and inconspicuously. Especially if people generally agree this is stupid and should be shunned.

      Yes, let’s just vandalize the store instead of choosing to shop at another store

            These corporations are subsidized by our tax dollars and every cent of their profit is stolen wages. Costing them money is the moral thing to do.

            I know adventurers eat jerky, but thats a boot in your mouth. Buff your wisdom

        High traffic area, common product that sees a lot of people. You could get 2-3 in a trip without much worry. Do it every few visits. Get a few additional people to do it with the same plan. If you notice more security, just move on, force them to give up or water a bunch of money. Leave reviews of the store how you don’t like the extra security/cameras. Your a customer not a criminal! Call out the management…

        You don’t have to win in a day, but an expensive, annoying, psychological warfare approach… That and going after them on social media.

          Risk criminal charges to cause $24 in damages, that will surely crumple the multi bilion dolar corporation.

            Right, quick, alert all the pirates downloading software! Alert all the people doing password sharing on streaming services! …

            These companies don’t get rich by wasting money. If they’re seeing the change is costing them sales and potential sales, they revert. Fuck, Cracker Barrel last year tried to change its logo. Here are a few other examples https://time.com/3735718/consumer-pressure-business/. Hell, the biggest example of all, when New Coke was introduced and walked back 79 days later.

              Replacing broken displays will cost them less than paying someone to swap labels by hand, and if it does become even mildly annoying to them you will be caught and have the book thrown at you. If you are gonna break the law you might as well do something more productive than generating tax write offs.
