Jammed Pricing Guns
I’ve spent a lot of time discussing how reliable and awesome the right kind of price tagging gun can be. Indeed, I’ve loved one or two models in my life. That said, no one is perfect. Sometimes we can be a little rough in our rush to get a case of cough syrup priced in [...]
Pricing Labels Will Save You From Customer Issues
I’ve worked a few years in retail and I know how important it is to have pricing labels on everything. If an item doesn’t have a price on it, it’s most likely the customer will pass on it unless it’s something they really want. Most people don’t want to go through the trouble of finding [...]
Register Tape is One of the Most Important Retail Supplies
Anyone who has worked at a register has had that moment. You are working at a pretty popular store, the line is starting to go beyond the stanchions, but everyone is handling things pretty well. You are taking customer after customer with ease and you’d much rather be doing this than be in the corner with [...]
Don’t Give Price Guns to Kramer
A few weeks ago I mentioned a Seinfeld episode and stated how Seinfeld can truly relate to anything in life. Well I’m about to further prove my point! Price guns are typically only purchased by people in retail because most other people don’t really have a use for them. But for whatever crazy reason, Kramer [...]

Perdue Not Using the Correct Pricing Labels

An animal rights activist has her eyes set on Perdue Farms Inc. and is suing the company for mislabeling their chicken. The lawsuit claims that Perdue labels some of their products “humanely raised” and charges [...]
DIY Price Tags
There are a lot of ways to price things. You can use price guns, or tie or staple tags — depending on what the item is you could even just write it directly on. (Many secondhand booksellers pencil in the prices on the inside cover.) If you want to shake things up a bit and [...]

Want To Spice Up Your Price Tagging Gun?
If you work at a department or convenience store, and one of your primary responsibilities is tagging items with a pricing gun, you probably get a little, well, sick of it after a while. There’s not a whole lot you can do to break up the potential monotony, but you can at least make the [...]
Before There Were Pricing Guns…
…People had to write out the prices for everything. It might not have been so bad for people with small shops who had what, 10 things to sell? But people with dozens upon dozens of items had to not only write everything out but attach everything one at a time — possibly with string. Now, [...]
