What should be done if a McCall's or Simplicity/New Look pattern does not scan?

If a McCall's or Simplicity/New Look pattern does not scan, the appropriate action is to press clear, enter the price, and manually input the UPC code. This method ensures that the transaction can continue smoothly despite the scanning issue. By inputting the price and UPC code, the cashier can accurately charge the customer for the item without needing to disrupt the customer experience or involve additional staff unnecessarily.

This approach also maintains efficient operation at the register and adheres to proper checkout protocols, assisting in customer satisfaction by providing a quick resolution. Other approaches, such as taking the item to customer service, ringing a different item, or asking the customer to choose another pattern, could lead to longer wait times and dissatisfaction, as they do not directly resolve the issue at the register.
