At my store, If any meat item is $100.00 or more, the bar code is left blank and the checker can't scan it. There's a small chance it won't get rung up as a meat item (it's wrapped in white paper, not clear plastic). Meaning a hurt gross. Does anyone else here have the same situation? I don't know why we have this problem. Man can put a man on the moon, but we can't put a bar code on a $100.00 item?
Yep. My understanding is that there's a special code/override you can use to create the bar code. We tried it, but the bar code still wouldn't scan at the register. Technology, go figure...

Sometimes when an item with a bar code doesn't scan, it can be fixed by the scanning coordinator. We see this with new items all the time. For example, if Oscar Mayer comes up with a new Lunchable, it might not scan when you first get it. The scanning coordinator has to take a package and somehow put it in the system. Scan it, and "ok" it somehow. I'd think that if you had brought this up with your stores scanning coordinator, she/he would make it work.
When we first started scanning something similar would happen to us except that our system would skip the hundred dollar part. So if a product was $109.50, it would just ring up the $9.50! OUCH!! Being the owner it did not take me long to figure this out! In the setup portion of our scanner software I had to have it use extended bar codes. This allowed it to recognize the price is in excess of $99.99 That was a nice find to say the least, and a very simple fix

mine will not go past 99.99 either for bulk orders i have to print several tags to get the total so the cashier will be scanning about 4 tags for one item. this caues a bit a problem when the genius' decide they want to put whole ribeyes on sale for 6.99. not one of them is under 100.00 and all have to be in the case. what am i supposed to do put two labels on each one?
mine dont print out after $99.99 he use to have codes that go over but they started to mess up at checkout, if it was $144.00 it would ring up as $4.00 at checkout after that we aint had one since

We have a memo from the supervisor saying that we should not put two labels because the checker may not look at them. He/she'll just scan it without looking for multiple labels. I'm on the checkers side on this one. There's not any time for counting price tags. We're supposed to just write "Meat Dept" or something like that on the tag. I feel like they're underestimating the intelligence of the checkers. They should know it's meat even though it's wrapped in white paper. There isn't really any bakery or deli items shaped like a standing rib or crown roast. I just think that on any item exceeding $99.99, the checker can read the tag and figure out the proper department. In the end, all the money goes in the same pot. So "the store" will still make the same money, but of course each dept does deserve credit for the sale.

what i do is spilt the whole ones in half when we sale them like that so each has a tag and they sell better for me as halfs. i get more of them in the case to.
I'm sitting here shaking my head at all these huge corporate chain stores that invest tens of thousands of dollars in these scanner systems and they wont have someone switch them over from using standard UCC codes with a max value of $99.99 to an extended barcode that has a max value of $999.99. It's there, why they wont do that is beyond me. Why even have the system if you dont scan everything? How do you know how many actual pounds of rib roasts or whole tenderloins you really sold?

Wow. I didn't know this was a common problem. Just night before last, I had to weigh all the pieces not in boxes (loose pieces) for inventory and a Short loin printed the price, but no bar code. It was over 99.99. I guess my manager took care of it last night.
