    Also, for the other “why not a sticker” comments. Having a digital display does have its advantages. You may not want your chain of stores having tacky hand drawn labels by a lazy employee. This prevents that. You can include the price in the display later if you want to. Ensuring you charge more for that “limited time” flavor and you don’t have to send stickers to each store.

    Ear me out: you print them, crazy right?!

      You don’t have to send stickers to each store.

      So purchase a nice color printer for each store? Or have an employee go to print at staples when you want to change labels?

      Like, “just print them” is a lot more effort than you are making it sound to avoid the use of an extremely cheap screen.

      There is a reason all vehicles put a big ass display in their car now even though people prefer actual buttons. Screens and software are dirt cheap. A printer with moving mechanical parts is expensive. Using employee time is expensive. Shipping is expensive.
