I’m amazed by this as most of these self-checkout systems know the WEIGHT of items as well as the price. So, you scan a can of corn, it expects the weight in the bagging area to increase by the weight of a can of corn. And they’re VERY sensitive! So I’m amazed she was able to scan a watch battery, and put something else in the bagging area that weighed more.

People also remove the tags from items like $1.25 screwdrivers and do the same thing. I went into Walmart once just to see if it was true, and I found every single screwdriver without a bar code attached to it. I alerted a worker there and he thanked me.
