Checked out one of ERSI's Rite Aid installations. The tags look very similar to TLS'. For some reason Rite Aid has chosen not to display cost per unit info. About 75% of the items in the store had labels. I can understand why the seasonal stuff doesn't have tags but not why the refridgerated stuff lacks them. The manager in the store didn't know whether it was an ERSI problem or a Rite Aid decision. No wires were hanging down from the ceiling but they had these weird boxes mounted on the ceiling -- for signal transmission I assume. The manager said that they really haven't had significant price changes in any given week since the installation started but changes seem to post fine. Given the potential low volume of price changes, it doesn't make sense that Rite Aid would pay much for the tags. This supports the rumor that ERSI is charging Rite Aid per price change as opposed to per tag. Anyway, from a consumer standpoint I'd say it's a toss up between a TLS tag or an ERSI tag. Also, from a retailers standpoint in terms of apparent functionality. This means price and service are going to win the battle. Currently, I'll give this edge to TLS. FWIW Jeff
