What do you call those "price guns" that grocery markets use to price their products?

Although I'm sure with all the PC stuff it'll soon be changed to "adhesive backed cost of merchandise identifier attacher"

I like "fiber-based anti-release fee informing applier".

Aren't those the hand held scanners, not the price tag guns?

I believe it was called a pricing gun when Apu was fired from the Kwik-E-Mart and had to hand his over, including the backup gun in his ankle holster :)

That is correct. but every biz calls them something else. when I worked @ sears, they were called "gizmos". no joke.

WalMart uses Telxon's as well. They come w/ printers so it's an all in 1 label maker price gun etc.

The ones that I used before were also the Telxon guns. Some of those are expensive and they can cost up to a couple thousand bucks
