Maybe this will work better on this board.
I was using a self checkout at a grocery store and wondered if all the grocery stores have to maintain their own database of UPC information or was there a service they all get that information from.
The thing that really prompted the question was it seemed the bagging area knew the weight of each product. Is someone at each company weighing each individual item in the store?

Simple answer is yes, generally dealing with supply chain and getting info from manufacturer/distributor. Adding in automation to minimize meed for human touch for updating systems. All dependent on which chains/stores and their business processes.

Stores maintain their prices.
Upc and costs come from vendors.
