And almost 30 years later, Fry's Electronics finally installed bar code scanners for the very first time.

I am not, as Dave Barry says, making this up.

Bar codes are the work of Satan and should be avoided at all costs

@GlenTen: but how would we know what that cost is, unless we're close enough to Satan to scan said barcode.

Weird. I'm from Troy.

That Marsh is still there, and probably has the same people working in it.

IIRC, there is a 60 year old cashier named Barbie.

1973 or 1974, the video talks about '74, the article says '73, but that would mean today would be its 36th birthday....

I have been to Troy, Ohio and let me assure you, that this has to be the biggest thing that ever happened there. Bigger even than Troy itself.

@Geisrud: Kids dress up as their favorite UPC. The local sports teams don't have numbers on their jerseys, but bar codes.
