Is it permissible for a jewish owned store in a jewish neighborhood (for example a supermarket) to not put price tags on items?

My logic is that it may cause embarrassment for a customer to go to the checkout and discover they can not afford certain items. Secondly, it seems somewhat deceitful to not label items with a price.

    It might also cause people to ask for the price when they weren't planning on making a purchase
