It causes a problem for stores that use technology to squeeze more out of customers. It remains that these tags are closely tied to predatory pricing practices and it causes more than just a headache for the cashier, it causes a trust issue between customers and predatory businesses. The goal is to make these predatory practices damaging to the business. the cashier will be fine, they already deal with people being complete garbage for less, at least this gives them an excuse to bring in the manager and send the problem uphill.

In what way?
Yes, there are predatory pricing practices; but my point is these tags are unrelated to that problem. They’re just a display. A non-networked display that’s not capable of setting/displaying a per-customer price, as they can’t even be changed remotely.
They’re no more related to predatory pricing than paper tags are.
