At the supermarket, should any item not bar-coded and causes a hold-up at the checkout just be put against the manager's account and given free to the customer. The manager's account then sent monthly to Head Office- More than six items or more recorded, a sacking offence?

sounds like the supermarkets would lose too much money.
I was in Asda once when it was very busy . an item I had didn't scan and the supervisor told the till operator just to pass it through without charging. I thought it was a good gesture and I am sure all the others waiting behind me were grateful too.
Maybe other shops should take the same attitude if it isn't an item worth a great deal of money.

Is there a law that states items must have barcodes? They're used for convenience and security, but there's no reason why a manager should be sacked just because some are missing.

No that sounds far too harsh on the manager but good for the customer.

I like your idea. I do think the "sacking" penalty is going a little too far, but then that would be up to the corporation.

That sounds like a dumb idea to me. To err is human. do you have any idea how many bar codes a shop has??
