I wish owners of retail establishments here in my town will implement the use barcode scanners to improve their business efficiency. Using barcode scanner is more accurate and it minimizes the error of the cashier when computing the prices of the items. Not only it helps save a lot of time and energy for employees, but also for customers like me, who hates standing
I wonder when will the Gaisanos, chain of malls owner here in Visayas and Mindanao use and implement the laser barcode scanner in their point-of-sale system here in my city. Every checkout time at their department store (their supermarket section is the only section that uses the barcode system), it irritates me to stand waiting in line and watch the cashier manually verifies each and every product of my purchases, then writes down price on a paper or types it into a cash register. Such a waste of time, really. I hope the mall owner will realize the soonest that their customer service system is so slow and so backward!
Probably each one of us is aware that almost every single business today uses barcodes in their products. But what’s in a barcode? In a bar code, you will not see the price and description of an item; what you will see is the “product number” that consists of 12 digits.
Primarily, a bar code is just a reference number found for example on food items at grocery stores. When the barcode scanners read the code of the item, the reader transmits it to the computer where the pertinent detailed data of a product is stored. That’s it.
