Before Barcodes
Indeed, technology has changed the way we do business. It made clerk and accounting tasks easier. It’s almost impossible to imagine a time without bar codes, but that’s how life was. A cashier had a list (or memory of a genius) that had the price of every item the store stocked. Each time the cashier added another item, the register would make a “ding” sound – hence the term “ring it up.”
