tomslatin.com— This is a great story; I like the bit where he gets the cashier to swipe his 'experimental' Price Chopper card.

First of all this is old. This was December 2004. If he wrote it in December 1987 I might be impressed by his elite hacking skills - but that was because I was 7 then and didn't know that bardcodes are little more than a font. Even stupid label printers can print barcodes. You just type what you want to code in it and print it out. And the part about putting on fake UPC symbols is stupid. That is why there are cashiers, and why self-checkout aisles have scales to weigh each thing you buy. Dumb.
