A longtime, low-tech grocery store tradition may soon be biting the dust thanks to a new law in Massachusetts.
The law, signed earlier this month by Gov. Deval Patrick, gives grocery sellers the option of doing away with the little white sticker prices that for decades have been individually applied to food products.
It also lets Massachusetts catch up to the rest of the country, as the commonwealth is the last state in the nation to make this move.
Under the new regulation, stickers can now be replaced by a series of price scanners, one for every 5,000 square feet, once a grocery store obtains a required annual waiver.
