so i bought so bagels from the grocery store right, partly because they were on special, heavily reduced to clear 99 cents for a 5 pack when they usually cost $5.50 and then I scan it at the self serve and it comes up full price, so I called the person over and there was a sticker over the barcode right actually this story isn't that interesting. anyway tl;dr I was right and they were wrong
ah, they misplaced the sticker happens all the time
actually a real pain with bottles and cans because they've got a recycling deposit attached which the priced-down sticker doesn't register for some reason our current approach is to put it on the direct opposite side of the barcode so it can still be recycled, but the cashier sees the sticker if we try to scan the barcode at the register it's not perfect, but it's at least servicable USUALLY when it's misplaced, it just results in it being scanned twice, which is a pain but still
