I'm sure that anyone near or over my age will remember the old pricing guns. Some retail shops still use pricing guns. But UPC's have made pricing guns nearly obsolete. Yet there are people in the world that still examine products to see where the price sticker is.
I hate to say it, but those days are for the most part long behind us. Just as lead has disappeared from gasoline and checks have virtually disappered from our pocketbooks, pricing stickers are slowly disappearing from our store shelves. Fighting the change is an effort in futility. This change will happen whether we like it or not.
I deal with people everyday who insist that 35mm film will be around forever. They used to say the same thing of 110mm film, wide roll film, and polaroid instant pictures. Where are they now? Well....
The days of pricing guns is for the most part over. As I said before, fighting it is just a futile effort. So before you give in to your desire to complain to the manager for lack of pricing stickers, just remember that technology has taken over and it's not going to change back anytime soon. In other words, like it or no, get used to it.
