Totally agree, good news for the staff. But I get why some customers are still uneasy

I've had to change a large number of tags and it is a lot of work and takes a lot of time to change them since it involves physically removing and replacing stickers, which are sometimes very difficult to remove. Plus, you have to make sure that you are putting the correct sticker on the right item (often the stickers will have a cryptic description for the item and you have to check the UPC number to make sure you are putting the right sticker in the right place). It does allow easier price changes and it also ensures that the displayed prices are correct.
It is similar to when they went to electronic displays to display gas prices. With the old manual cards it would take up to 30 minutes to change the signs and if the weather was bad it would take even longer.
