Last night I went to my local K-mart to buy a game for my students to play at school. I brought the game into work, and put it on my desk.
On the box, I noticed that there is a price tag. I was struck at how rarely one sees an actual price tag these days. With the advent of bar codes and scanners, price tags have become increasingly rare.
(Strangely, as a marketing strategy, the tags on items at stores like KOHLs don't even reflect the actual price of the item for purchase.)
It looks like price tags will be increasingly relegated to the "Clearance" section (if used at all).
