[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is eye opening, and has caused some internal dilemmas.

Quick history:
- I worked at a Mom and Pop grocery store in the mid 90s.  The store was later put out of business by Walmart.  I feel this might be vital information, and a nice talking point during the interview process.  Thoughts?
- Another point is that I still have most produce codes memorized (4011 - bananas, 4062 - cucumbers), even though I haven't worked there in 20 years.  Should I move this skill to the top of my resume?  Maybe in a Career Highlights section?  If you do think I should include it, will I get dinged for not keeping up to date with new codes.  I'm totally lost on organic codes.

You definitely need to move this to the top of your resume AND include in career highlights.  And I've got an incredible tip for you so you'll appear to be very current -- apparently organic codes are just the previous code with a 9 at the front!   You're welcome!

According to Google:  http://www.ifpsglobal.com/Identification/PLU-Codes
"The 4-digit PLU codes for produce are randomly assigned within a series of numbers within the 3000 and 4000 series. There is no intelligence built into the 4-digit code. For example, no one number within the 4-digit number represents anything in particular. The 4-digit codes are for conventionally grown produce. 5-digit codes are used to identify organic produce. The prefix of '9' would be placed in front of the 4-digit conventionally grown code for organic produce. You will not see the 5-digit codes in the PLU codes database since they are simply prefixes added on to the conventionally grown produce PLU codes. [/quote]
