Have any of you noticed the new longer barcode, called the DataBar barcode on your coupons? You may have noticed that some of your coupons look different and you may have had problems with them scanning at Publix. I know it happened to me. The cashier simply had to cover up half of the barcode to make it go through.
What this tells me is that Publix does not have the new updated system in place yet. I believe they have 6 months to get their computers updated. When they do, it will actually make the checkout process easier. When the coupon is scanned, it will encode a great amount of information like expiration dates, product specifics such as size, weight, etc.
When this is in place it will eliminate the need for the cashier to look at every coupon to see if it is expired. This should make your checkout experience quicker.
