Comment on Tesco Discount Barcodes, Cracked

Comments

A similar, simpler method is used by the deli, bakery, meat, seafood, and produce departments in most US grocery stores. Usually they use 2 sets of 6 digits for these bar codes, with the price as digits 8-11 in the bar code. The bar code doesn't work with items, such as holiday roasts, costing more than $100.
