>The system is rife with abuse.
There is nothing wrong with stealing goods form store owned by a large corporation that pays its employees fucking peanuts and lobbies the government to import more and more 50 IQ africans and spics to replace whites

Most stores I go to these days have one or two employees watching the self checkouts like hawks. They have cameras on every one recording you and what you scan as well.

Friendly reminder too that Target and other big retailers will routinely keep track of your shoplifting and wait until you've stolen enough for it to be a felony to bring it to the police and file criminal charges.

>>50152225
Correct answer.

>>50152124
These machines work in civilized and moral places without blacks or gypsies.
>>50152225
I agree with this anon because we are living in a gay world.

The previous system we had was that you go to the grocery store and wait 30 minutes to check out. People hated it so they shopped less. Now people shop more. Maybe some shit gets stolen every once in a while but the stores don't care because now they make twice as much.

>>50152124
Even factoring in the losses from theft, it's probably cheaper than employing cashier wagies.

>>50152317
True, I picked something up at walmart and they had installed self checkouts. I was out of there in under a minute. The only option used to be an "express" checkout lane with a line a mile long.

>>50152124
i love these cause i get huge discounts

They priced in the abuse and still decided it is better to buy the machine and let people steal than to pay a wagie

>>50152124
the "abuse" is still cheaper than paying wagies to stand around doing nothing, and demanding health insurance and the like

>>50152418

>>50152124
Damn that girl has a cracking figure, you can tell she's getting on a bit but her arse is probably 10/10 for her age bracket.

add in: they can have 15 of those self checkouts in the same area as 3-4 of those cashier spots
when they phase out all but a couple wagie checkout lines, and replace it with 30 self checkouts, it will be that much faster
just like the wagies that used to pump gas for others that got phased out, this is is similar

>>50152225
this works fine until you get enough people doing it, then the store closes the location down. parasites are dependant on their host, while often they honestly believe they're smarter than the system.
>>50152259
yeah lol, fraud detection algorithm have been a thing for years and AI can flag you from video images. catching people shoplifting has never been a problem, the issue is how to deal with them in a society that doesn't execute people for minor offences like they routinely did in the Middle Ages. if the economy falls enough, there is nothing stopping it.

>>50152259
>>50152655
cameras mean jackshit when they throw away footage pretty fast

>>50152673
Also masks, hats, and sunglasses

>>50152124
Tell me how is it even possible to abuse this shit nowadays. Even in our most shit store chains like Tesco the weighing scales are sensitive up to like 5 grams and there's always 2 workers standing around (you need approval when buying alcohol etc. that kids shouldn't). The only way I saw someone abuse this was a friend who put meat in a bag of potatotes, but this was years ago when nobody was checking it.

>>50152749
Do the employees even give a shit if you steal things? If I was working at any store I would just let people steal whatever they want

>>50152749
>use your own bags
>slide through scanner without scanning and toss in bag
>profit
the wagies don't pay attention, You can easily weigh something as a cheaper item, etc.

I'm not using this. If you want me to do my own scanning you can give me a discount. If you expect me to pay full price then you can scan my shit while I scratch my balls.

>>50152655
>the issue is how to deal with them in a society that doesn't execute people for minor offences like they routinely did in the Middle Ages. if the economy falls enough, there is nothing stopping it.
Calm down abdul. America will never shariah.

imagine how based it must have been to do groceries in the 70s and 80s. the amount of shit you'd be able to get away with

>>50152313
Pretty much this
You can tell how "multicultural" an area is by how often the computers trigger a manual verification

If you’re in California, you can walk out without paying right?

Was easy when they were first introduced, not so much now.

>>50152124
They work perfectly in my 99% white town.
I've asked people I know who work at these stores and they say people almost never abuse it.

>>50152953
whether you can or not is dependent on whether the stationed wagies care. They usually don't

I shoplift exactly as much as I need to in order to offset the state tax. Little things. Just a dollar or two here and there. On a big trip I'll sneak out a high value small item like some batteries.

>>50152794
I don't know, I've never stolen anything, I'm a white European. I have seen gypsies stealing on two occasions and they security was handling it.
>>50152804
Well it's not that simple, once you start scanning, you need to throw it onto the scale and keep it there until you pay. If the weight is less, it won't let you continue until you put the item on the scale, if the weight is more, it tells you to remove the extra item from the scale. So basically you would either have to keep it in the shopping basket, which is obvious to the cameras and the workers, or you would need to put it instantly in the bag, which is highly suspicious, since you still have all your groceries on the weigh until the moment you pay. Sometimes I make a mistake because I'm shopping high as fuck and I'm surprised how accurate the scales are, it's impossible to match the weight with a different item without prior analysis. Maybe I'm too white but to me, it's just too much of a hassle to steal. I was the same in school, was easier for me to read it once than to create tools for cheating.

i literally left a pack of chicken at the bottom of my cart once and wheeled out, no one noticed, not even me. shop lifting is so easy you can do it on accident.

not in my store

Wait till you meet poles and ukrianians

>>50152124
>go to Home Depot
>buy some screws to fix my deck
>minimum wage spic hovers over me
>making sure I don’t steal
>tell her to fuck off
>go to check out to make them ring me up
This whole system was designed to introduce prisoner mentality. I can’t even check out without some spic nigger hybrid hovering over me like I’m the criminal

>>50153176
Come to think of it, once Ukrainian refugees started pouring in our country, the workers in the self-checkout zone multiplied, there's like 3 these days. Before it was usually just one to confirm the alcohol purchases and errors.

>>50152124
I am 3 times faster than the cashier working there since 20 years. Self checkout is the best thing ever.

>>50152124
Most people are still decent. The collapse hasn't set in yet.

>>50152225
Most shops make literal pennies on the dollar for each item sold. It is only the massive volume that keeps them in black ink, they are always on the verge of making a loss. Yes, people forget that businesses don't just make profit, they can also make big losses, and drag the owners to bankruptcy. The store owners either have to raise prices to cover your stealing (and give all the money to a security guard to catch you and put you in jail) or they have to shut up shop to stem the losses, and let your neighborhood decay further, into barbarism, return to monkey, work for your next meal (old bread-crusts) by knife-fighting your neighbour .
TL DR: learn basic economics off your fellow black man

>>50152124
>oh no some zogslop store might lose a few goybucks

lol who gives a shit

>>50155462
No. I will never read any book written by a nigger

>>50152225
Based.

>>50155493
but you are the nigger

I like self-checkouts because I don't want the qt cashier to judge what I eat.

>>50152124
The lose from the abuse is less than the cost of an employee and all of their bullshit.

>>50155541
>caring about roastie opinions
ngmi

There is not a single self check out at my closest walmart. The cashiers are slow as shit. I hate it.

>>50152749
The trick here is that they can now have 1-2 people serve 10 people at the same time, this alone is such a huge save that it doesn't matter if 100 quid worth of shit is stolen a day

I don't want to be the wagie but sometime it's faster to go to the self checkout.

>>50155493
He's the only black guy with a brain writing a book 99% of his own race will never read.

Thomas Sowell is a black male pickme trying to grift white conservatives who, just like liberals, have a pathological need to have a minority on their side for the sake of diversity. He just spouts basic bitch conservative boomer rhetoric and if he was white no one would give a shit who he is. America is a very negrified country.

>He just spouts basic bitch conservative boomer rethoric
Except he doesn't since any right-winger is ready to fuck with the pricing system if it's for muh national security bullshit.

Sowell makes good points in favor of free market economies in his book in addition with hundreds of irl examples.

>>50155578
It's always faster because boomers who are set in their ways refuse to use them and clog up the regular lanes with their check writing and small talk chit chat.

>>50155573
>The trick here is that they can now have 1-2 people serve 10 people at the same time, this alone is such a huge save that it doesn't matter if 100 quid worth of shit is stolen a day
and also people in a rush can bypass like 60% of the queues, filtering all the retards from the self check out is based, best invention in the world, i just hate when i buy produce and need to weight shit myself... have you guys ever registered the wrong thing on purpose, any of you ever caught? like weighting "bananas" and taking mangoes or something similar

>>50152124
For who? The shareholders can get fucked, the executives of every corporation responsible get a fuckload of money from implementing bad and/or corrupt ideas.

>>50152655
I’ve stolen probably 10k worth of shit from self scans you happpoooning /Pol/fag schizo those cameras are there to scare good little small peckered goyim like yourself into staying in your chastity cage and being a good little consumer that spreads Jew benefiting fear online. Just don’t shoplift massive amounts of shit from the same store everyday and no one will catch you. Your AI skynet doomer fantasy is a joke.

>>50152655
Cringe incel

>>50152979

The fucked thing is even if the wagies care, store policy is to just let the shoplifter leave unmolested, because god forbid a criminal piece of shit chimp out and get harmed by an employee or the police. No big corps want that bad PR.

>>50155462
>giant retail corporation moves in and undercuts every mom and pop shop by operating near a loss
>I'm supposed to feel bad when they're forced to close up shop because the people they've exploited steal from them
You'll get no pity from me, jew.

>>50152124
no, and there's cameras directly on you. automation of menial tasks will completely delete the annoying argument that there are "jobs americans won't do," and it also creates a whole new expansive opportunity to create jobs for technicians and servicemen.

>>50156256
>I'm too poor to afford groceries

>>50152225

>>50152313
all three of you are fucking retarded, and there will be no place whatsoever for poor retards in a world where machines have eliminated the jobs they have now. retard immigrants are also not going to be welcome where machines already do their jobs.
these corporations you think you know all about are also the ones paving the way forward by expending massive amounts of capital to cut costs and generate returns for shareholders for decades to come, and you're sitting around jerking your dicks doing nothing to achieve the end of clown world that they merely pay lip service to.

>>50157986
surprisingly based, Might make it after All

>>50152124
if cost of wagies > cost of stuff stolen then win

>>50152124
i do the work for no discount?
i refuse to use self checkout

>grift
Only left-wing people have ever used this term. It's funny because it applies much more to your side than the people you oppose with all of your Twitch streamers and millionaire politicians begging for donations.

>>50158349
Are you implying conservatives aren't also Millionaires begging for donations?

>>50158349
Grift applies to anyone trying to profit off a political movement. This includes Bernie bros and MAGA chuds
