A method of marking products purchased through a self-service checkout
terminal includes scanning a product to be purchased into a computer and
issuing a tamper resistant label from a printer at the self-service
checkout terminal. The tamper resistant label includes a visual indicator
including product data section, and a radio frequency identifier
including product data portion. The method also includes adhesively
bonding the tamper resistant label to the product scanned into the
computer such that removal of the tamper resistant label from the product
destroys the product data section of the visual indicator and the radio
frequency identifier. Finally, the method includes scanning for each of
the visual indicator and the radio frequency identifier after the product
passes through the self-service checkout terminal to verify that the
product was scanned into the computer.
