of payment; amount tendered and change due; the cashier number; register number; and the time of the purchase. With the scanning system the customer is assured greater accuracy in the checkout with the help of the Universal Product Code. The first five numbers identify the manufacturer and the last five numbers identify the product. How does it work? The cashier passes the product’s UPC over a window built into the checkstand and a light beam “scans” the UPC. Within a split second the

UPC is translated into the price and description of the item and is displayed and printed on the sales receipt. If there is no UPC it is rung up manually by the cashier. Shelf Tags With the use of the scanning, price tags on individual items will be eliminated. However, Cole stated prices will continue to be marked on each individual item for a time, but this will eventually be discontinued. Replacing the tags will be shelf tags. The shelf tags will provide the shopper with information needed. It includes the name and size of the product, the unit price (cost per ounce, cost per pound, etc.) and the retail price directly under each product. This tag will enable the shopper to make price comparisons at a glance and help stretch the food dollars further. Cole stated once the scanning system is in full operation at Syracuse and is working satisfactorily, the new checkout system will be installed at the North Webster store.
