But I think the issue was using a specific UPC bar-code for honey.  Must
one purchase their own registered bar code, or are there generic bar codes
for honey, 12 oz; honey, 16 oz; honey, 32 oz.

Or put it this way, as you are an IS Manager...

There are certain tcpip addresses that are invalid on the internet and used
for lans.  These fake address series won't work out in the real world, but
will in a local area.  Are there UPC bar code series that are available for
use on a store by store basis, that do not belong to some company/product
combination?
