You won't see a BTC price on a shelf any time soon.  It'll be priced in USD and converted to BTC at the register.

But just having a Bitcoin sign in the store would be great advertising.

Now that BTC is worth 1k let's roleplay the following:
 
Joe goes to the store and the price tag for an item is in USD and BTC.

Nexus 7 2013 tablet case
BTC0.04
$40.00


Brand new Google Nexus 7 32GB 2013 FHD
BTC0.30
$300.00


Which looks better to you? USD or BTC - honest opinion, not just because we love BTC.
 
Could the BTC price entice the buyers confidence? The item looks like it has fair value subconsciously in my eyes.

I believe this BTC marketing could become useful in major stores such as Walmart especially a tech niche like best buy.. at the same time increasing BTC value.

Do you think this could be confusing or risky for the technophobic types?
