Don't lidl usually put the prices ABOVE the products?

I don't even know why they do this and it's really annoying as I don't regularly shop at lidl

If ANY retail store puts their prices on a display that's meant to be updated regularly, they're prepping for surge pricing.

They want to make stuff more expensive to sell when its busy. Meaning people working 9-5 will always pay more.

Or they're just trying to cut down on labor costs and mistakes. It takes time for staff to update the tags of every single item that goes on sale each week, and there might be hundreds throughout the store so there's room to miss some when updating.
