and you stupid niggers wonder why more and more of these things have cameras on them nowadays

My policy for when I see someone shoplifting: I didn't

>>18327221
The only thing I don't do is enter a bag amount because fuck you and your 10c bag fee.

>>18327221
>How many bags did you use? (For bag tax
>0
Fuck the government

>>18327221
That's a printer

>go up to one of these
>scan my stuff (an energy drink and a bag of chips)
>time to pay
>this one doesn't have a dollar slot for whatever reason and I'm not using my card to buy 5 dollars of fucking snacks
>hit "cancel transaction"
>"Please wait for an employee to authorize your cancellation"
why

>go into Walmart
>Find expensive thing you need
>Tear off adhesive barcode from less expensive thing and put it over other barcode
>Go through self checkout

If they've noticed me doing it they don't give enough of a fuck to stop me.

>>18327279
I would never tell on someone for cheating in a game that sucks ass

>>18327278
It's pure autism

>>18327279
Genius

>>18327278
Just walk away lol

>>18327278
More and more self checkouts are card only, always make sure to check beforehand nowadays

>>18327279
If it's an expensive/large item the door greeters always speed walk to you to check your receipt, of course you can always ignore them but you'll probably get flagged afterward.

>>18327286
so now all games become a game of "make the other players think the game sucks ass" great policy what could possibly go wrong

>>18327279
>If they've noticed me doing it they don't give enough of a fuck to stop me.
While im not saying they have noticed, the big box stores asset protection people rely on you havibg this mindset. They basically let you get away with shit u until they have a mountain of evidence to fuck you with.

>>18327377
I can kind of confirm this, I knew of someone who stole a fuckton of TCG packs over several months until one day they cornered him, showed him the evidence and told him they'd drop if it he paid a lump sum and never came back.

all based
>>18327262
yeah, a fuckin MONEY PRINTER

>>18327279
Does walmart not have scales on these? The local ones measure each item you scan to check it lines up (and means wagies have to fix every few orders)

>>18327408
some do some don't my local dosent but the super Walmart one county over does

>>18327408
Walmart rightfully decided to get rid of the scanned item scale because it's a speed bump in their mission to push people through. You can scan items and put them right back in your cart without the kiosk bitching at you. You can also scan liquor and it won't grind your checkout to a halt to get your ID scanned. You just can't check out until somebody checks it.

>>18327418
Interesting. Fucking with the barcodes is probably too much effort. Just scan something cheap like a candy bar and put the expensive thing in the bagging area.

>>18327385
My main source is that I heard it from the asset protection guy directly working at target. Also know someone who did what your friend did with pokemon cards, but with beer. One run cops were waiting outside the doors for him. Guess the alcohol makes it bigger trouble.

Inversely though, I've always wondered if you could get away with blatantly stealing one big ticket item, like a 4k tv. Just do it at a far enough away Wal-Mart and think about your exit strat, and never do it again. The asset protection wagies would just be waiting for you to strike again.

>>18327421
>Fucking with the barcodes is probably too much effort.
ya i never got that, its easier to just to pretend to scan something when there are no watchers close by thats how i get my free 30$ bag of TP for the month fuck paying for ass paper

Here they have weight sensors.
I've stolen more stick by wearing a baggy jacket with big pockets than I have by using a self serve kiosk.
I haven't tried putting expensive things thru as onions as I'm concerned it is programmed to know how much a typical amount of onion weighs

>>18327251
What state has a bag tax

>>18327508
its not a tax those stores charge you as in buying the bag at 10 cents or sometime 25 cents

>>18327232
yeah that's why I don't bother really using them at walmart. At the same time though, if you exit the store and they don't catch you, you win. I don't use these to steal too much, but every now and then you can get away with something. For example, I needed a swiffer wet jet for my new apartment with concrete floors. I went to wal-mart, was disgusted by the people there, and so when I went to check out I bought a $1.50 bottle of cholula sauce and scanned that, paid for it, put the swiffer in the bag with the cholula, and walked out. I walked in a hurry and an elderly greeter asked to see my receipt, I pulled it out and showed them while walking. They just said "oh, ok" and that was that. I shopped there many more times and no issue. I think it helps to pay cash though

>>18327508
Boulder County in Colorado.
I worked for the pickup department until recently. We are supposed to say how many plastic bags we used. We always entered 0. Fuck that retarded tax.
You want to make a difference with plastic pollution? Go after governments and large corporations. Consumers contribute fucking nothing. And that goes with all forms of pollution. The population's contribution is fucking ZILCH compared to governments and large corpos.

>wages don't keep up with inflation and cost of living
>niggers and anons steal shit and think they're good people for it instead of fighting for better pay
I am not looking forward to the coming decades

>>18327543
Anon, people have been asling for $15/HR for so long that $15/HR is no longer the minimum living wage.

>>18327543
inflation is made up retard

>>18327221
>want to make borscht
>turnips are on sale at grocery store
>buy a bunch of beets and scan them through as turnips
CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES

Why is this board infested with EBT users?

>>18327438
they would probably share the video of you stealing over asset protection company email to every other Walmart in the region or state

>>18327658
THIS IS MY LAST DESSERT
>>18327668
everyone here is a NEET

>>18327658
Bro, they're about the same price here, if not slightly more expensive.

>>18327543
Getting a fair trade is good, regardless of how you do it

>>18327221

believe me you don't want to ever do that at self checkout. my store isn't even going after shoplifters anymore, they're only prosecuting people that steal from self checkout. if you use your debit card at the kiosk and aren't wearing a mask, you're even a bigger retard than i thought. you have a better chance of getting away with items by shoving them in your pocket instead, far away from the kiosks.

>>18327385
Oh damn that's crazy

>>18327505
>I haven't tried putting expensive things thru as onions as I'm concerned it is programmed to know how much a typical amount of onion weighs.

all of that has been calibrated several years ago. once I tried putting in random peppers in one produce bag and tried to pass them off as one cheap pepper. the machine caught the error instantly and I had to ring them up by weight individually after

>>18327803
How did it even know?

I only ever use these now because I’m super autistic and hate talking to people, I’ll actively avoid going to a store that doesn’t have check out, I just hate chatty register people so much

>>18327868
Just buy several jumbo boxes of condoms. They won't talk to you at all.

I always put 10L bottles of oil on the floor next to me and scan everything else. If they ever ask, which they haven't and hopefully never will touch wood, ill act all surprised like I can't believe it happened.

I've saved a few thousand dollars over the years by doing this.

>>18327505
Some stores just have stupid things like I could scan krispy kreme donuts as standard ones.
I’d love to go to a store I never go to and try the produce hack just to see if it still works

>>18327868
I've gotten a customer compliment sent in about how im not a chatty cashier. I love customers like you. I hate small talk just as much. And currently if I'm on register,I'm more than likely raging out in my head because I've been dragged from whatever I was supposed to be doing to wipe front ends ass

>>18327886
Lol when Im forced to actually go to a cashier I usually try to scope the different lines and look for the ones like you. The ones who look angry and usually don’t say one word. Anyone super happy looking or perky or one I can already see constantly trying to start conversations and joke around with the customers, I’m staying the fuck outta that line.I just don’t have it in me to engage with these annoying fucks or have to fake laugh at their shitty jokes

>>18327221
Used one of these last night. It wouldn't recognise a box of tissues had been put in, but somehow managed to recognise when I took it out of the bag, so I needed the employee to fix it.

>>18327874
>10L bottles of oil
What the fuck are you even doing with that ? If you gave it to me for free I would take it.

>>18327815
>How did it even know?

My only explanation is that it could detect the color or shapes of the wrong peppers, but I think that tech would be too advanced for a kiosk. Perhaps it was just a general random bug malfunction and I got unlucky.

I had the chance once to steal someones expensive meat that they paid for and left in the bagging area of the kiosk. But I chose not to take their meat, for good reasons.

They would have came back and complained they had left their beef at the kiosk. The clerk would have seen it wasn't at the kiosk, and the security would have ran the cameras to find out if the customer was lying or not. On camera they would then see me take the meat and run off with it. You see, since I go to this store every day, and sometimes even pocket some shit there, I did the smarter thing and handed in the meat to the clerk so I can look like a good guy. But if it was a store that I never go to, I probably would have taken the meat.
