totse.com— Ever wondered how a grocery store scans a coupon from someone else and it still rings up? Here's an in-depth description of how UPC codes are created. Don't use this info for evil... ;-)

People dont realise, just buy something thats cheap, maybe same brand, close to the same model name. Scan it, make a sticker, return it. come back in a few days and just stick it on over the upc. You might even cut yourself a measly few bucks depending on how idiotic the person at the register is. [BUT] I don't really like the way this is put, pretty much stealing and causes the store to be understocked and which can cause alot of jobs to be at risk of who ever is working there.
