Well, for only being 13% of the population they sure seem to go the extra mile to contribute to crime in this country.
I accidentally ‘skip scanned’ (didn’t know there was an actual name for!), the other day. I bought TWO dozen eggs ... I know...very extravagant ... and, only one scanned.
So, while still at register, I rescanned one of the dozen’s and the kid standing there came over and asked why I scanned again. I told him, and, he just said, oh...like it was no big deal that I’d ‘skip scanned’. 🙃
The self checkout have AI linked to cameras that will check if you missed scanning anything.
I guess he didn’t want to put the frozen butterfly shrimp down his trousers.
So all his friends do it, and they sit around talking about it.
yeah, its a cultural thing.
Our closest Costco will no longer let customers use the self-checkout lanes themselves. Costco employees are now always ringing up your items. They spent all of that money, along with the removal of regular checkout lines, to install self-checkout lanes during COVID. I guess they figured out people were stealing, but now they have several employees manning self-checkout. Despite that, I have caught Costco employees scanning my items incorrectly in the "self-checkout" lanes. What a mess.
Unfortunately there are so many
thieves these days at retail
Even a few employees try it
He dindu nuffin!
No! You did something illegal and dishonest.
I’ve been watching a lot of body cam videos on YouTube, often of Walmart, customers or employees who skip scan. Can’t believe people are stupid enough to try that with their cameras everywhere. I am a happy Walmart shopper - an honest one!
All you have to do is compare the ticket with the contents of your package.
Yep I see it at a gas station ⛽
all of the times
Their debit card “fails” and they try
to run - the clerk has to
stop 🛑🛑🛑 them and have
then try again - in that
situation it often doesn’t work
on the second time either
It is also the quality of people fixing your car, repairing your roof, preparing your food, etc.
I watched a guy in front of me at the self scan steal stuff one day. He would scan items from his basket, then place them back in basket. Then grab items from the kid seat basket and place them in the large basket, never scanning. Body wash and shaving lotion. He walked right out the door and no one checked his receipt.
I’m already a non-paid checker, and I’m not going to add theft security to my Walmart resume.
Well they could check the printout receipt against what you checked out ....
Isn’t the Bok Academy a private school?
And when I typed "average retail grocery margin" the first response was "1 to 3 %". And that explains why self-checkout is a bad idea. Eventually the stores will figure out the relationship between the 2 and realize that self-checkout does not pay for itself.
"the cost of a control should not exceed the benefit from the control." Basic risk management principle.
The “you owe me because my ancestors might have been slaves and this is a racist country” is used as an excuse by many blacks for a myriad of things....from shoplifting to ignoring traffic laws to refusing to comply with police instructions.

This is what comes of a government giving preferential treatment to an ethnic group for decades.

I suspect this guy wasn’t hired for his outstanding resume.
I tried the self checkout not long ago. I was scanning with each hand in turn to go faster and The Voice told me to cut the shit (though so what more politely.)
He never should have listened to Rashida Tlaib the Queen of the Desert Caravans, Ilan Omar the Sammie Aunt Jemima and Mad Maxine the lunatic of “da House”.
