One point of thought here.
Is the scanner a typical grocery store counter top scanner?
Why not have the scanner set to scan as food groups in lieu of pricing!
That way Children can learn what food groups for various meals work
together and
Are nutritious. A child could look for lets say a nutritious breakfast.
If they select the correct foods they would get a balanced meal. The
computer could tell them what they need.

Greeting to all:
We are designing a grocery store exhibit for our new museum and are
discussing scanning equipment at the
checkout counters.
In our discussions with staff we have some with concerns about using
actual laser scanners because of an eye
safety issue.
Some feel if children look at the scanner laser light it may cause eye
damage.
I have been to a couple of museums that use scanners in the Grocery
Store exhibits.
How have other museums addressed this issue?

Thanks,
