It's not just Walmart - the entire grocery sector is doing it. The potential for abuse is certainly not low.

The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds. - NPR

this gets into what if the price changes between pikcing it up and purchasing. They should really guarantee to not change prices while the store is open and find an hour to close and make 24hour stores 23 hours.

Paper tickets at work but change frequently. Had this happen a couple times. Since its manual we normally ask if someone updated the isle. I've had to respond a few times and had the ticket in my pocket still.

If there is major doubt though register price will be used, it's not hard for someone to lie or move a ticket.

Oh also iirc there is a way to check price history to see if someone is lying so that can be used too if the store has that in the system.

Best thing for any store is to take a photo tbh since its not just eink.

I don't really agree with this but its the way it is.
