What's gonna happen is longer lines because of customers going "C'mon now, what are you guys trying to pull...the price on this item was 15 cents cheaper on the tag (because the tag price was changed in the 30 minutes between the customer removing the item from the shelf and them going to the checkout)".

The employees I'm sure will have the authority to change the pride at the register a little bit, but with them scanning thousands of items every hour? "Manager, can I get an override" will be indelibly etched into all of our collective memories very soon.
