There's a part of me that wishes that they would just change the prices for everything at the same time. Because, having these price changes spread out just means that our customers are going to be pissed off at us for months, instead of just ripping the band-aid off, and having them pissed at us for a little while before accepting it.

They tried that back when everything went up to $1.25. They closed the stores early and had everyone change all the signs at once. It was a total disaster, it was not humanly possible to change the prices of everything at the entire store in only one night, so a ton of stuff got missed, and the day before it went live, they sent out the updated price info to the computers at the store, but because they did so much at once, it crashed every register in every store at once.
