@epictittus @RanchWifey I was a kid when grocery stores introduced bar code scanners at the check out. Before that ever item had a sticker with the price on it, and the check out girl punched every number in by hand. I remember my mom and grand mother being very skeptical.

Under the old system, they basically memorized the cost of every item they were buying, and they would watch the check out lady like a hawk to make sure she got all the prices right. They were convinced the new bar code/laser scan system was going to be used by the stores to tack on a few extra cents here and there, and because it all happened in the computer instead of out in the open, they wouldn't know about it until they got home and went over the receipt. Big grocery was going to screw over the little guy with their fancy, sneaky new technology, and rake in millions every year via cheating.
