Supermarket/retail Scale
These scales are used in the bakery, delicatessen, seafood, meat, produce, and other perishable departments. Supermarket scales can print labels and receipts (in bakery specially), marks weight/count, unit price, total price and in some cases tare, a supermarket label prints weight/count, unit price and total price. Some modern supermarket scales print an RFID tag that can be used to track the item for tampering or returns. In most cases these type of scales have a sealed calibration so that the reading on the display is correct and cannot be tampered with - in the USA the approval is NTEP, for South Africa it is SABS, in the UK it is OIML.

Famous quotes containing the words supermarket, retail and/or scale:
“With the supermarket as our temple and the singing commercial as our litany, are we likely to fire the world with an irresistible vision of America’s exalted purpose and inspiring way of life?”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“A free-enterprise economy depends only on markets, and according to the most advanced mathematical macroeconomic theory, markets depend only on moods: specifically, the mood of the men in the pinstripes, also known as the Boys on the Street. When the Boys are in a good mood, the market thrives; when they get scared or sullen, it is time for each one of us to look into the retail apple business.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“It is in vain that we would circumscribe the power of one half of our race, and that half by far the most important and influential. If they exert it not for good, they will for evil; if they advance not knowledge, they will perpetuate ignorance. Let women stand where they may in the scale of improvement, their position decides that of the race.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
