Worked in a stationers over 20 years ago, still remember the barcode for this one pencil eraser we sold all the time that would never scan - 4007817526040.
... Still can't remember a single damn birthday or important appointment. Why, brain, why?

Worked in retail many moons ago. Back when organic was just becoming a thing. I can tell you one thing.: A lot of people were getting a deal on organic food -because cashiers would just key in the code for non-organic. The lines were too long, and you look foolish looking things up in the "book" haha.
As expensive as organic food is, I'm sure that they already factor incorrect item entry into the cost of organic produce items.
Isn't it usually just the same code with a "9" concatenated at the start? I.e. tomatoes are #4664, organic tomatoes are #94664.
Sure, but still you need to look at the sticker to know if it's organic or not

Are the codes all unified across stores and POS systems? Is it an extension of the UPC? I assumed the code was like a part number from that store chain's inventory.
They are called PLU numbers and I'm assuming they're regulated because bananas are the same code everywhere I've been, as with grapes. Maybe certain produce between regions or chains is different but I think most are similar.
There are standard sets of PLUs, yes. Not every store uses them, but you'll definitely find them at most large chains.
I still remember the code for Braeburn Apples, over 25 years after I worked in a supermarket.
For some reason, their code of 6969 sticks in my mind.
Spike-y Pear? I have no code for spike-y pear. Halp. 🍐
The only one I remember is 4011.
I only worked at a grocery once as a summer job, but holy crap I sold a ton of 4011s. Nearly every customer bought them, or at least anyone who wanted to live. Basically the exceptions were the old women who instead bought cartons of Pall-Mall cigarettes.
That shit is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s
I'm staring at an organic banana and it's 94011 so it does seem to follow the +9 for organic shit pattern

94011 is better.
Nah you get the 94011 but you use the 4011 code at self checkout.
Weird... Prime rib, avocados and maple syrup are also 4011 at self checkout.
