The (voluntary) Scanning code of practice is here:
http://www.anra.com.au/Scanning%20Code%20of%20Practice%20for%20Supermarkets/ScanningCode
There are four signatories, bilo, coles, woolies and franklins. The policy is as previously stated, first is free, remainder are at the lower advertised price. Does not include alcohol or tobacco. Does not include items > $50. Does not include non-barcoded items.
So, going back to the original post. They didn't need to do it. Stick to your guns... and waste your time.
