Archived Shelf price and zebra price not matching

[ShortTM]

I've noticed a few times that the price of an item on the Zebra is more than the price tag on the shelf. Is this a problem? I'm in inbound so I was not taught anything about pricing. One of the items was either a air fryer or instant pot that the Zebra was showing cost $20 more

Sometimes if pricing has not put up change labels the zebra can show new price shelf still the old one. Prices go up and down all the time for things and not just for sales or clearance.

the shelf price is wrong.

someone activated the new pricing but didn't print a shelf label for it

Or like my store since they killed the pricing team they had no one doing labels.. Until they got like 5000(hardlines only) labels behind then leadership thought it might be good to give someone a 4hr shift a week to catch up..

Get a hip printer and scan it, then scan the shelf label, then tap “print shelf label”. Easy peasy.

Just 4 hours a week, huh?

My thought exactly!

Or if POG (or whomever sets REV and POG) didn't print the price accuracy labels, the prices can be incorrect.

I wonder if any customers ask for a price change to what the shelf says. It could add up to some major losses it seems like with how many incorrect prices I've found. Though, I was shopping in market this evening and the shelf price of something I bought was actually more than what it rang up as.

This is something that can cause huge problems. I was just remembering that there is a state that offers a type of bounty for incorrect prices. And here in California we do price audits every week. Here's an article from 2015 where Target paid a huge fine for inaccurate pricing in California:

Target to pay $4 million fine for inaccurate pricing

Shelfie needs updating...but Target taking shortcuts will hurt them in the long run. See previous post.

Sometimes I catch a new POG that's been set but an item still has the 70% off clearance price from the last time it was in the store (last year presumably).

Yes, they absolutely do, as they should.

We theoretically have a price change and POG teams, but with hours being what they are we can't even get freight done let alone literally anything else on the floor, so.

Yeah. He hasn't even gotten half way through HBA..
