Yogi, are we sure that is a woman?

[butlerweave]

self-checkout is a stupid idea anyway

[Drew68]

"Discover this ingenious self-checkout hack that Walmart doesn't want you to know about!"

Oh, you mean shoplifting?

[Boundless]

While self check-out is fertile for abuse, this doesn’t really add up.
The rack with the empty checked-out bags is supposedly on a scale, and the system knows the weight of each UPC item. If the scale was expecting watch battery mass, and seeing, say olive oil mass, it would be expected to squawk.

[plain talk]

“The total haul was valued at $137.34”

Now that is a loser right there. Gets arrested over a lousy $137 and some change.

[NorthMountain]

Self-checkouts have been a particular issue, leading staff to manually check customers' receipts against the items in their bags.

Huh ...

For the past year or a little more, every Wal*Mart self checkout I have used had a camera watching me. Video doesn't do much good if it isn't used ....

As for receipts ... they never ask to see mine. Is it "Old Man Privilege" or "White Privilege"?

[dfwgator]

This is why we can’t have nice things.

[Nifty]

Walmarts are notorious for criminal activity.

Anyone who steals a credit card runs straight to Walmart to by gift cards. And Walmart employees don’t check ID or anything.

Oh Brother Where Art Thou

Everette, are we kicked out of all Piggly Wigglys or just that one? Delmar

[Bullish]

Yeah, I'm thinking this one needed a little scrutiny.

[proxy_user]

At my Walmart the lady at the out door looks at your receipt and glances at what you bought. I suspect they subject suspicious character to much closer scrutiny than people who are look respectable. That’s not always a good idea; the first step to being a successful criminal is not to look like one.

I know is weird, but I found out that people are taking the bar codes off a single low priced screwdriver valued at $1.24 and doing the same thing here in central Indiana.

[Jonty30]

Target, in Canada, went out of business because it couldn’t control people stealing at the auto-checkout. They were doing things like label switching, a barbie doll for a $1000 rug.

[Hessian]

I got news for you. If you’re trespassed from your local Wal-mart, you’re trespassed from all of them. Plus Sam’s. Company policy.

[tumblindice]

That’s a man baby!

[Fresh Wind]

The items at my local Walmart that get the most interest at the door are laundry detergent and bottled water.

[Thunder90]

Perhaps a judge can ban her from all retail stores, and the list can be shared with all other big boxes, similar to a casino ban list for cheaters.

[heavy metal]

if walmart was serious about stopping shoplifting they would close all self checkouts and return to cashiers at the checkout registers...

[PilotDave]

AOC scammed the government self check out for 30 million.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I didn't need to look
