      Where I live we have farmers’ markets, the supermarket is not the only option

      Not to mention you can just order food online directly from an online shopping site

        We have farmers’ markets here too, but if the problem with a supermarket is prices being too high then a trip to the farmers’ market is the opposite of a solution. Never mind, of course, that a farmers’ market would get cleaned out of everything on sale in a matter of minutes if everyone replaced their supermarket shopping with it.

        I would like to know why you think that a supermarket that applies dynamic pricing in a physical shop would not also do the same online

          Most people would just take the price hike, and if the demand for farmers markets is higher more farmers would come out

          When there’s money to be made, there is surely people who want the opportunity

        I live in the countryside with fields directly backing onto my house and I still have no way of buying food directly from farmers, the absolute closest you can get is someone with an apple tree leaving apples in a box on their driveway when they have too many to use. Farmers markets are for posh twats.

          In Hilo, Hawaii it’s just Filipinos selling fruits, the opposite of posh
