minus-squarewise_pancake@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 days agoI used to work nights at a Loblaws grocery store Thursday was price update day and I would spend the whole shift printing stacks of paper labels then walk the aisles updating them. The digital tags would save a lot of money and paper.
