The world is unhinged. Everything is banannas.
they record everything. they know you are stealing but they wait until your theft reaches felony levels until busting you.
all the big stores do this
Do you have any sources to back that claim or is that just fearmongering? I am not in the states, but here is also a lot of self checkout and i doubt there is some kind of bigger scheme behind
Edit: not to call you a liar, i am just genuinely curious
Obviously I’m not a credible source but from first hand experience working at a red circle retail store this is absolutely true. I remember many times people swapping barcodes on expensive lego sets at self checkout. We’d get told on the radio by AP to either let them go or intervene (act like the machine was busted). I was naive but I should have realized sooner it wasn’t my fucking job to be in such a situatuon but I wanted approval I guess. We’d hold the machine and reprint the receipt. If you hit $1000 after multiole trips, then cops would be waiting outside or sometimes AP got into altercations if the thief tried to flee before the cops arrived.
They’d almost always let you get away with it on the first offense. Only times I remember them stopping theft was teenagers to give them a scare.
Bananas are like ten bucks, not gonna waste all my avocados and bread on cheap bananna prices
$10? For what, 10lb?
When confronted argue you just must have made a mistake you are tech illiterate and don’t know how to use this new fangled technology.
or just… stop shopping there?
Stealing is better. Does more good. Helps offset wage theft, very slightly.
Food deserts are no joke
There are only two grocery stores in my city. And I pray everyday that the other one doesn’t do something horrific because I cannot shop at Walmart.
I already do this but as peppers
I never pay for organic produce.
I prefer inorganic produce without carbon.
Does your self-checkout have teenagers at it? Then go for it.
They’ll be fired or quit by the time you show up to do it again.
