Not a fan. The good thing about UPC is it shows a human-readable serialized representation: it shows the UPC number. So I can pick up an item off the shelf and know exactly what it is: I can cross-check the UPC number against the shelf label's UPC number to verify the price. The QR code has no human-readable element to it. It's a usability issue.
