Let's not mix [[barcode]] and [[channel]] issues. The [[retail]] locations have no [[barcode]], they have a [[company]] that owns them and [[companies]] they work with and a classification within the chain hierarchy (sometimes) which identifies the service / product range of a particular location and naturally an adress. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 18:35, 28 Aug 2004 (EEST)

:If they really are separate, absolutely right.  However they are not quite separate:  Sometimes big purchasers apply their own barcodes or different packaging has different barcodes.  If this is *VERY* uncommon then we can avoid mixing them, as you say.  If it is even going on 5% of the time they we have to think of the barcode as the product of channel and product information at once.
