Stop & Shop Price Look-Up (PLU) Codes Practice Test

Why should associates be careful when selecting the PLU for a produce item with multiple varieties?

Each variety has the same price and PLU; choosing the wrong one leads to incorrect pricing. The same PLU applies to all varieties. PLUs do not apply to varieties; use UPC instead. Each variety has its own price and PLU; choosing the wrong one leads to incorrect pricing.

Correct Answer:

Each variety has its own price and PLU; choosing the wrong one leads to incorrect pricing.

Explanation:

PLU codes are the price lookup numbers that connect a specific produce variety to its price in the system. When a product comes in multiple varieties, each variety typically has its own PLU and its own price per pound or per unit. So selecting the correct PLU is essential to charge the right price for the exact variety the customer wants. Using the wrong PLU would ring up at the wrong price, causing pricing errors, potential refunds, and customer dissatisfaction. PLUs are the price lookup numbers used for produce, while UPCs are the barcodes scanned at checkout. Since different varieties usually have different prices, they should have separate PLUs rather than sharing one.
