Are people really going to OCR their receipts for years, hoping to catch an instance of "shrinkflation"?

Probably not but it would enable that sort of analysis should anyone find a way to easily automate that process someday. It’s one mechanism for feedback that probably not everyone has to do but a few could and their efforts would benefit the wider consumer base I’d imagine. If someone posted that raw data and analysis publicly that would be a website I’d visit from time to time.
