Here they scan the bar code for produce at the register same as with
packaged items. But I see no need to stick a label on each small
piece of fruit, hardly anyone buys just one and if someone does the
checker has a binder with every kind of produce listed alphabetically.
Those labels are obviously stuck on by hand one at a time, what a
waste of labor/time... and at least stick it on the stem/blossom area
that no one eats. Someone who wants to become very wealthy needs to
develop a hand held inkjet printer that shoots a scanable code on
produce with edible/washable ink... do away with those PIA labels...
shouldn't be a bigly deal to develop an AP with every item in the
store, no more schtoopid labels on anything. They developed rubber
stamps that the date etc. could easily be changed and even had it's
own built in ink pad (I still see people using thoe rubber date
stamps)... are yoose telling me today's computer nerds can't come up
with a computer driven tattoo device... should be able to load the AP
into any smart phone, and plug in the one color printing gun (about
the size of a magic marker), can even be wireless.
