| Since there are ten of them, it sounds like a way for a store to label
each product with the store's cost so that employees could correctly
limit their bargaining with customers.
But for this purpose, there's no need for the order to be alphabetical.

I've seen that use, but not the code in the basenote. We used the word
"dumbwaiter" for our digit codes when I was in retail. Clearly, a real
word is eaier to remember than a mishmash of letters for which a second
mnemonic device has to be invented. :-)

| This was done a couple of months back in Column 8 of the SMH (or maybe
the letters page). I can't remember either, but could it be something to
do with the letters on old rotary dial phones? It was definitely
some acronym no longer in use
Cheers,
Simon
