Too Many Barcodes!

I was at CVS the other day, using the self-checkout. When I scanned this thermometer, the light started flashing, and I got a message like “This item requires additional assistance. Please wait.”

When the cashier (she had to leave her post to help me) came by, she explained that the machine had scanned the wrong barcode. This item has THREE BARCODES! (Plus two more numbers above & below.)

That’s not a problem with the machine, it’s a problem with package design.
