Comment on Tesco Discount Barcodes, Crackedparent

Comments

The whole point is that 'clearance' barcodes don't have a price stored in the database.

Every grocery store I've consulted for or worked at in my youth was operated the same way - there were "manager special" barcodes where the price was part of the barcode, and the price in the database was recorded as 0 with a flag of "barcode encodes price".

And there may be exemptions for high value, non-perishable goods.
