  Hi! Thanks again for the question. The UPC barcodes eventually provides great benefits to consumers. "The big winners - as one should have expected given the competitive nature of the markets involved - were consumers, since U.P.C. scanning generated efficiencies and productivity improvements that led to lower costs and/or greater customer service. Ironically, consumer advocates initially resisted the innovation and jeopardized its success by insisting that retailers forego substantial cost savings by continuing to mark prices on individual units."
