We are living in a disposable society and here you guys are talking about a very expensive recycle tag. The tag is so delicate that I will not last for 5 years as claimed, if the tag is lost in a garbage bin because the checkout clerks forget about it and the cleaning people just dump it like garbage, then all the profit from the sale will be gone.
Walmart only tagged its cheap 25 cents tag at the palette level. Any IS system fails to do inventory with the no cost "bar codes" is a defective inventory system.
