Gotta plead guilty to saying "must be free," but what you young
whippersnappers don’t realize is that, back when they began this
barcode scanning, at least some grocery stores helped ease customer’s
minds with a policy that said, if it didn’t scan, it was free. They
quickly realized that, while this was a nice PR move if the customer
was buying a can of soup, it wasn’t such a good idea if the customer
was buying, say, a coffeemaker. However, there was a basis for people
saying, "So, that means it’s free, right?" even after the promotion
ended … because it had been such a bad idea to begin with.

Of course, it was never a policy in department stores that I know of.
And, perhaps as a result, the percentage of items not properly put
into the system was usually much higher. In most chain stories of any
type, nobody on site could input a new barcode — it happened at
corporate, so that these errors didn’t quickly correct themselves.

Baba Wawa and gang were quick to hype the notion that stores were
ripping people off, instead of simply saying, "Keep an eye on the
readout as you go, to make sure the code has scanned properly." Which
it sometimes hadn’t, but in the wake of their fearmongering, studies
tended to show that it was under about as often as over.

Incidentally, one of the changes to my move back to the country is
that our grocery store here doesn’t have a self-checkout lane. Just
when I’d taught myself to deal with defective barcodes!

WYH 040507 — Busted again!

<http://www.uclick.com/client/baw/wpwyh/2007/04/05/>

The first time he got busted, I wondered if Cory had let us in on
something that would make it hard to continue the character as
written. I’ve got to say, it simply added depth to the poseur
depiction.

This day’s strip backs an incredible amount into a very limited space,
including several laughs. Nice work indeed.

Dilbert on the last page of the business section

Doonesbury, Mallard Fillmore, and Day by Day on the editorial page.

The square format strips were squished by about 65-75% in both
directions.  But not by the same amount in both directions.  Dennis the
Menace had the most skewed look of the bunch.

All of their strips were smushed a bit to fit the new, narrower format
that some newspapers are experimenting with.

Day by Day didn’t come off as well in the print edition as it does
online.  I’m not sure why that is.  All the other comics looked pretty
clean by comparison.  DbD was a little fuzzy.

Dann
