So these consumer advocates are saying people are too dumb to read what the scanner says. This is what Democrats and liberals think of you. I'm assuming most stores will continue to have tags on the shelf under each item.

The same law was passed in Michigan a while back.

So far no mayhem has ensued.

This is what the libs think of us dolts out in the hinterland. I’m absolutely amazed that anyone would make such an absurd statement.

I think they are now required to have a price sticker on EACH INDIVIDUAL ITEM, not just on the shelf, but I may be wrong.

Gonna make it rough on stores that sell loose rice rather than by-the-bag. Each grain must have a sticker or it would be a violation.

[cableguymn]

there is always a sticker on the shelf.

plus who cares what it costs. they are likely paying with food stamps anyways.

Where are the scanners made?............

And who owns them?............

The scanned price will be the same at the check-out as the shopping isle unless they are stupid enough to maintain two databases. I prefer a price on the item or on the shelf for any given product.

I scan with my iPhone.

But consumer advocates say scanners can be unreliable, forcing consumers to play "guess the price" before heading to the checkout line.

Lots of grocery stores in Texas give discounts or even free merchandise to customers who can demonstrate that the shelf prices are inconsistent with the scanner price. I've never had his happen to me.
