    They’ve chosen to leave A LOT of room for human error. Using barcodes would make checkout and inventory quicker and easier, so that “putting employees first” excuse sounds like bullshit. I think they genuinely believe that “mark of the beast” stuff.

      “We have considered scanning at our registers, but do not feel it is right for us at this time,” Hobby Lobby writes on its website.

      Very unlikely that the quote was written by a cashier or a person who actually does inventory. So, the person who doesn’t “feel it is right” is a person who doesn’t have to deal with it. It’s like going to a Catholic priest for advice about sex between two consenting adults.
