It’d like to remind everyone that when barcodes were invented, evangelists believed they were “of the devil” and if you came near one, Satan would crawl up your belly button or, if you’re a woman, up your vagina and impregnate you with the Antichrist, which would force them to face a very difficult choice regarding their pregnancy termination stance, and that is why the Hobby Lobby has no barcodes or exit scanners to this day.

@Vonzales

Is this actually true or are we being punked?
I’ve shopped in Hobby Lobby, many many years ago, and I’m pretty certain a lot of items I bought had bar codes because I bought the same items elsewhere and those bottles have barcodes.

I attended a "Christian" "school" in the 80s and they definitely had an issue with bar codes being "the mark of the beast."

Don't know about Hobby Lobby, I've never set foot in one.

None of their own and no exit scanners.
Many manufacturers provide barcodes already printed on their packaging though

@Vonzales @Tarnagh

Ok, that makes more sense. I had no idea there was even such an absurd belief. 🤦🏻‍♀️
