[net.consumers] PS to Automatic Overcharging

<I am the ghost of lossage past...>

Just visted the local Sears store.  They've taken all the prices off
the items, but there's a new wrinkle:  the cash register won't show
the customer the price as it's being rung up.  The only readout is
the one facing the clerk.  This of course makes it just a little harder
to keep the computer honest.

Cheers  -- Walt Haas
