RE: Shopping lists, bar code readers & databases

["Dr John Tankard" <john@xxxxxxx>]

Someone on the list must do work for supermarkets ?

I fail to see the secrecy for what is in effect public domain data.

Are the codes universal, i.e. will one product have the same code
regardless of the intended outlet, if so there must be a agency which
issues the codes ?
