Very interesting. I well remember checking register tapes for errors because you never knew how accurate the checkout person might be (or not be).

Three cheers for the Smithsonian! I remember being fascinated by UPC's and scanners when they were novel.

That is some cool trivia! There are so many things on display at the Smithsonian that one or two trips aren't enough to see it all.
