If individual items are marked, that doesn't mean the price as marked is accurate. With special promotions and sales, the price could be different (hopefully lower!). I never bother with the price on the item itself and rely on the shelf tags and price-check scanners in the aisles. If price accuracy is a concern, the county should test the price in the computer against the shelf tag (including sale prices).

I have found that the shelf tags are not in line with the product. either off slightly or majorly. I would pay extra to have the price on the product.

Removing item pricing, a labor cost, will end up with the result at self-serve gas stations. Loss of jobs and more work for the customer. BUT--do stop labeling each piece of fruit and vegetable. By the time I get the gllue tags off the tomatoes the skin has broken. On a different note, what a sad county Dutchess is if the revenue from fines actually has to be counted on.

The cost of putting a price on every item will cost the retailers more money in labor cost which will end up costing the customer in the end, I have done retail many years as a manager & in counties with the item price law, what needs to be done is that the retailers make sure that the shelf has a price on it & is correct or has to give the customer some compensation. The fines are in the end just for the county to make money because the customer never see's it...
