I always wondered what that weird looking sig was supposed to mean

Yeah. My part-time job is in the video department of a fairly large
grocery store. The scanners aren't CueCat, but they are aging and
often don't work quite right. It's really a pain when it gets a bit
or two off and give a different number. Or just ignores the first
couple of decimal digits in the code. The "real" scanners are on the
cash registers at the front end. I haven't worked front-end, but they
don't have nearly as much trouble as video has.
