There?s probably a barcode on each envelope that scans in at 54 cents, and one on the outer wrapping of the pack that scans at the whole-pack price. The cashier probably scanned the wrong one and wasn?t smart enough to notice. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 8/14/16, 8:42 PM, "LUG on behalf of Ken Carney" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of kcarney1 at cox.net> wrote: >Here is today's question.
