Have any of you guys tried shoplifting to save money? It's dumb easy and practically risk-free.

It dawned on me earlier today
>decided to go grocery shopping to save money and stop eating out so much
>fill up shopping cart and be ready to check out
>Local Walmart only has 2 cashiers and like 14 self-checkout lanes
>normally prefer going to cashier just for the small talk
>line too long, so fuck it and used the self-check for like 80 items
>total starts approaching $150 and I start getting mad that I'm actually having to do someone's job in addition to paying for all this shit
>eventually just start grabbing two items, scanning one, then throwing both in the bag
>got like 6 or 7 things for free doing this


The way I see it, if they want to cut out the middle man and make me bag my own shit then fuck it, and give myself a tip while I'm at it. I honestly feel stupid for not having done this sooner. You could easily walk out and while having only paid for like 50% of your shit.

I accidentally walked out of the grocery store with a six pack of beer because I got distracted by cool thoughts. The guilt was too much so I told the manager and paid for the beer the next time I went in. They were embarassed that it had happened and I am embarassed that I'm so much of a cuck.

They wouldn't even know where to start looking. There was a guy I used to work with who had a label printing machine for bar codes, and he used to scan shit all kinds of shit at Walmart and ring all it up for 5 dollars or less. Never once got caught.

This definitely doesn't always happen because I literally put most of my shit on the scale and nothing happened. At one point an associate did come over, but that was because I got greedy and tried to cancel an item I had already scanned. I played it off and scanned it again.

Nope. Back when I was in middle school I used to steal from the Safeway across from my school so I could eat lunch. Got caught and ended up having to go to court and pay the government and store back hundreds of dollars.

I have a theory. Surely Walmart is losing more money through "shrinkage" through self-checkout than the $11/hr they pay cashiers. And surely they know about that. I've also noticed Walmart in particular makes it really easy and convenient to steal from self-checkout without being noticed. I think they do it intentionally for marketing purposes. Instead of everything being on sale, Walmart is the store you go to because you can easily buy potatoes that look a lot like peaches. Try this experiment:

>Go to Walmart
>Buy banana peppers
>Self-checkout
>See which is easier: Entering them honestly as banana peppers, or cheating and saying they're bananas.

>Go to Winn Dixie
>Buy anything that is sold by weight

PA Fag here I've stolen from Wal-mart pretty much every time I go for the past couple years, my self check out section doesn't even have scales in the bagging section.

Once had a guy tell me they only bother checking if you don't have an item bagged.

>> No.16822159

no the weight thing doesnt fucking matter the stupid wagies dont even check Ill ring out some doughnuts or bananas and just balance them on the scale but hold their weight so it rings out at like 10p instead of 2 quid they come over do their key card scan thing and walk off EVERY time they never even look its 10p worth of bananas but the whole bag is filled of the cunts.

This is also stupid easy to game just by buying enough shit for two bags. You bag up enough for 2/3 of one bag, slide it over, then start putting stuff into your second bag while sneaking shit into the first one that isn't on the scale. ezpz

Or how about restricting access to something that valuable? Keep it somewhere where an employee needs to get it.

>if people follow them they claim racism and sue

I don't think that's how it works. If you're more merely being monitored in a store, I'm not sure what you would sue for. There's nothing that stops a store owner or worker from observing what's happening on their own premises.

And especially, consider if the same people are doing this over and over again, that's even more probable cause an owner or employee would have to follow them. I don't think they could pull this off repeatedly at a single store, police would eventually catch on, getting camera footage, car license plates, identities, etc.
