Pettipiece lost her prestigious job as a result and says her career and reputation have been ruined.
Happens to everyone, right, that they “forget” to scan items adding up to $67...
Too bad she wasn’t in California where it’s A-OK to steal $950 worth of merchandise each day and no one will do a thing about it...
I can understand a little about the asparagus, but the ham raises doubts.
I forgot to scan a Rolex and a Jaguar... What was I thinking?
Here’s a suggestion... If you’re that forgetful stick to a checkout with an employee doing the scanning. If they forget to scan it, it’s on them... If you forget to scan it... It’s theft, pure and simple.
F this headline.
possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance.
I had it happen to me at our local Food Lion. I scanned every single item I had, but when I looked at the receipt, I noticed there were items missing. I told the clerk, and she said, “ok, just go back through and scan those items again.” I did, and I haven’t used the self-checkout since. I can only imagine what would have happened if I hadn’t checked the receipt and walked towards the door. They could have had me arrested for shoplifting.
Never use the self-checkout.
Are you a shill for The Mail? Here’s a better excerpt.
“Canadian athlete Meaggan Pettipiece, 48, was arrested on March 28 in Indiana for theft, possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance”.
If she truely didn’t mean to steal at least we know why she did and why she was arrested and ruined.
True, but all the charges were dropped.
“The charges have since been dropped, but Pettipiece lost her prestigious job as a result and says her career and reputation have been ruined.
Her downfall began after Walmart security reported that the US college softball coach had failed to scan a couple of food items during a grocery haul at a self-checkout machine.”
I guess I don’t quite understand. You move things from the cart, scan them, and put them into the bags. It’s a three step process.
Ok, so she forgot to scan a few things. I wonder if she left stuff in her cart? Or did she not bag some items? It’s seems that if she were going to forget a step in the process those things would have happened as well.
I figure Walmart also has cameras over all of its self checkout lanes so they could document this woman’s confusion and or distraction. I also wonder if she had confusion or distraction the last few times she went through this lane. That might have led to the folks at Walmart having some “people” on hand to assist her.
Her being an Olympian really has little to do with this.
About 1/2 the time I use self checkout the stupid bar code is not recognized
And they have to go have an act of Congress to get the price. I hate them.
Kamala’s Inflation is forcing otherwise fine people to cheat and steal.
Yeah, “forgot”.
I never use self checkout
IN fairness, $67 of ham these days is about two slices of country ham.
The sign at my local WalMart read:
Scan and Go
It didn’t read:
Scan, PAY, and Go
That must have been one big ass ham for $67.00 dollars
Forgot? Sure.... And she was charged for stuff the police found in her purse!
