Cover QR codes with thumb before scanning
Go straight to self-checkout to verify — don't browse first
If it pings $0.01 — buy that one, then go back quietly for the rest
Don't ask employees about suspected penny items
If one item pennies — scan everything nearby in the same category
Tap to pay — fastest, lowest friction, no change delay
Take receipt and walk normally

Signal Legend

🔥
Limited Stock — Not eligible for online pickup = ZMA flag. Penny likely live in register.
1–3 units — Low stock, high penny probability.
🟢
4+ units — Normal clearance, lower probability but worth scanning.
Out of stock — Cold, skip unless physically in that aisle.

Reference

Signal Theory — how penny pricing works
  • Items move through markdown stages over 7–13 weeks.
  • When the system flags for removal (ZMA), register price drops to $0.01.
  • The app never shows $0.01 — only the register knows.
  • "Limited Stock / Not eligible for online pickup" = ZMA flag = unit still physically present.
  • Consumer app shows one less than the internal First Phone count.
  • Out of stock on app ≠ zero units — may be on overhead shelves.
  • Confirmed $0.01 buys 7/13 in WA: Husky work light, Voltec GFCI (now zeroed).
  • PennyCentral WA reports: RYOBI Generator (WA4), Pet Vac (WA7), Samsung Fridge (WA7), Battery Inverter (WA11).

Priority signal stack (strongest → weakest):

  1. Limited Stock + not eligible for pickup = 🔥 go now
  2. 1–3 units + on penny list = ⚡ high probability
  3. 4–6 units + on penny list = worth scanning
  4. Out of stock = skip unless physically in aisle
