    Maybe staff humans if you don’t want people to scam the machines. If you’re eliminating jobs in favour of self checkouts, you deserve to be shoplifted from

      This reminded me of my very first job in which I learned that knowledge of the undocumented PLU codes on the cash register could be more powerful than the management key. Similar concept ha ha

    this is extremely common. The amount of people who would scan the wrong barcode (hidden in palm) or scan one item skip one item was insane when I worked there.

    Arrest him, why not make him CEO? Guys got big ideas. Cheating people out of money is Walmart bread and butter isn’t it?

    do US stores not have the infuriating scales that weigh everything you scan? If you scan soup, and put down anything else itll scream “UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA” until a staff member clears it

      Walmart has had this disabled for years in any walmart I’ve ever been in. Their first few generations of self check were super unreliable on it so it was easier for them to have it disabled and not annoy customers then to keep it enabled and hinder everyone just to save on some shoplifting.

      There are two similarly priced grocery stores near me. One does this, the other does not. I avoid the one that does.

      In my area we did for like, three months, then they removed that because the machines would do it all the time to legitimate products.

      I’m surprised they cared, it could be there was another reason they removed it. But I’ve had years without that feature at this point. NE united states.

      You can usually tell it that you want to skip bagging up to a certain number of items, at least at the stores near me.

      I mean, the trick would be to have barcode(s) in a ring for inexpensive items that you know weigh the same as expensive items.

    He got too greedy. He could have bought a small table top gas grill for less than 100 and probably gotten away with it.
