That is just to condition you to get accustomed to eventually having to buy it first before they let you know the price.

Which again is just to condition you to accept the fact that next they will be able to increase the price on your existing completed purchase each month for rest of your life.

It's only in the best interest of the consumer, it's not an evil tactic.

I've noticed convenience stores in my area just stopped putting out price tags.

Sounds more like an inconvenience store to me.
