Subject: An idea to help avoid pricing errors in supermarkets Posted on: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 09:40:02 +0000

Anyone who has bought vegetables or fruit at a major supermarket will
have noticed the scales provided. I'm not talking about those stores
that invite customers to print off and apply barcode labels to their
veg, but where a scales is provided so that customers can tell how
much in weight they are buying.

If, like the scales in the veg & fruit, there was a barcode scanner in
every ordinary shopping aisle, then shoppers could always check the
price of items if there was any doubt, or if the price was missing, as
is often the case today.

Barcode scanners are dirt cheap, by the way.
