We used to maintain those at my last job, they are still used in big grocery chains for inventory purposes

God I wish I used this for inventory/ordering purposes instead of a shitty samsung tablet with a dodgy half baked web app

Plus some models have ring scanners :

which makes your job cooler than it is

A few years ago the grocery I worked for got rid of their inventory scan guns that ran on Windows CE and used TinyTERM. They were rugged as shit and it was impossible to lose your progress if you took the scanner into a WiFi dead zone somewhere in the bowels of the stockroom. Then at some point they switched to these shitty Android-based ones where everything is done on a web browser. You needed to be extra cautious to make sure it was actually communicating with the WiFi and remote server, or else whatever you're scanning would not get counted/ordered.
