Some nerves about tomorrow and my procedure, but that's to be expected. I expect to be fine.

I recall a few outlets jumped the gun and started doing individual pricing early. The pushback sent them reeling. So, they temporarily retreated. For now.

We’re going to see a cottage industry of low income individuals suddenly buying luxury items and splitting the discount with the more well off.

Individual pricing is an idea that only sounds good in an out of touch boardroom.
