Happens to everyone, right, that they “forget” to scan items adding up to $67...

I can understand a little about the asparagus, but the ham raises doubts.

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.

That must have been one big ass ham for $67.00 dollars

Yes, asparagus and ham, $67 worth. Oh, and don’t we all carry our “friend’s” prescription drugs for them?

My reaction, exactly. $67 bucks is not a whoops, it’s shoplifting.

Yes it does happen. Why do customers have to do the work (scanning) anyway? The customers haven’t been trained as an employee would. How are they to blame. You know they record every transaction. I had the “security” gal come running over to me saying ‘wait, wait wait!” Then she said something unintelligible and I said what happened? She ran the video back right in front of me on the register to make sure I scanned everything properly, which I had.

I actually know people who, when the laser reader doesn’t take the scan they put it in the bag anyway.

I absolutely believe this could happen. I once accidentally walked out of the store still holding a book in my hand that I was looking at when my ride drove up.

HELP!….Speaking of food I need help… My refrigerator just gave out and the service man said we need a compressor expensive to replace.…does anyone here have any expertise in recommending a refrigerator that won’t give out in three years? He said today’s refrigerators are not made like the past refrig and he’s overworked fixing new refrigerators. He suggest some refrigerators but I would like to hear from some of you. What is the best refrigerator to buy that will last me longer than three years? Any suggestions?

Happened to me just last week

I completely forgot to scan the 3 cases of Coca-Cola that I had underneath my shopping cart and a bag of fried chicken.

Realizing my mistake.I went back to the store the next day and try to pay for it now

I bought another case of Coke.Scanned it four times and another order of fried chicken and scanned it twice

That wouldn’t have happened if I was at costco

It’s called ‘skip-scanning’....passing the item over the scanner where the bar code can’t read it and then tossing the item into a plastic bag. And, FYI, $67 buys a lot of ham and asparagus. Instead of the athlete/coach photo spread, Walmart should show the video of her scanning her cart.

I did that once. Walked to ace hardware. Put 2 packs of light bulbs in my tote bag. Looked at other things before walking down to grocery store. Started adding things to bag and noticed the light bulbs.
Checked out, walked back to ace, walked up to counter and said I accidentally walked out without paying for these. No problems except a weird look from cashier.

“Happens to everyone, right, that they “forget” to scan items adding up to $67...”

No kidding. Must have been buying a lot of asparagus and ham (more than I can carry). I’m thinking there were a few more items, like New England Lobster Tails and Wagu Steaks that she may have also ‘forgot’.

Anyway, some tips for the babe:
1. Leave your drugs at home if don’t intend to pay for your purchases.
2. Learn US politics - not every city or state allows you to walk-off with merchandise.
3. Get some psychological help
4. Next time wait in line to have a human ring you up if #3 doesn’t work.
