Every time I hear about self checkout, I am reminded of the guy that bought a PS5 for its weight in fruit.

Yeah I love shopping at WalMart

They allow me to apply my own discount to the merchandise

I stopped buying organic fruits and vegetables. I still bring them home and eat them, I’m just not paying organic prices

oh no! you’re probably accidentally entering the wrong plu code by accident! these stores should hire someone properly trained to stand next to each self-checkout machine to make sure customers are using them correctly.

Sorry, I’ve gotten so used to shoplifting that I’m not going back to paying

I doubt they’re even losing that much, it’s probably paranoia and projection.

Most loss is internal.

most theft is internal but it’s the company stealing from the employees and not the other way round.

when i first worked as a grocery store cashier my manager consistently robbed me of the daily two 15 min paid breaks i was supposed to get

she also made me the only worker at the front in the morning, so i was running back and forth between my checkout lane and helping demeaning old people at self-checkout. soul crushing anxiety type shit

Love throwing away entire pallets of milk and bread and other edible foods because no one is buying them and no one else can have it. These store and company owners deserve to be killed.

Support your local store workers by stealing as much as you can using self-checkout machines.
