Thankfully, Wal-Mart is too fricking cheap to permanently implement something like that. They can't even keep a stack of handbaskets by the door without all of them getting stolen within a month and take years to replace them, electronic price tags are getting broken and unusable near instantly.
You can break the shelf tag, or it can get broken through use and just never be replaced but it won't change that the POS system will constantly have its prices at the register (potentially) changed daily/hourly.
A question that might be important though, "Do customers shop based on the price they see on the shelf?" If I want a bag of apples and there isn't a price tag near enough to the bag of apples that I can tell how much the bag of apples cost, will I still try to buy a bag of apples?
