if it's the self checkout then of course. they have to pay me, don't they? what happens if I injure myself while working for the self checkout? do I get workers comp?

>>13805217
I would love to see you try and do that. Please do that. I will be laughing for days.

>>13805229
at the very least I'm a shitty worker so I fuck up often and only scan like half my shit. you get what you pay for

I got a repetitive stress injury from working the self checkout

WRONG, you criminal

>>13805033
Walmart has really cut down on the ability to cheat these things. They put a camera right at your face, and a deceptively cropped version of the camera view appears on a tiny screen. So they can see a close up of your face if you're within 5 feet of a self-checkout. They also put in wider angle camera with facial recognition. It can pick out faces and draws a little green box around your head. If they catch you shop lifting enough they can send your face metrics to other walmarts and just catch you as you stand in line for the self-checkout.

Your best bet these days is just to switch labels when you can and use a cheap lead item to steal more expensive similar items with quantity. but you have to be careful there too because they have ways of sensing when you're doing that.

I pretty much always steal a candy bar or something small when i go to the store. It's kinda fun 2bh

>>13805033
I usually use the check out girl, so she keeps her job. My grandparents didn't escape the gas chambers to have me steal. 6 million Jews died in the holocaust. 6 million.

Say it with me. Six million Jews.

Apologise.

>>13805268
sorry

>>13805268

How fucking paranoid are you? The monitors have clearly visible camera lenses and even if the feed was cropped you can still tell they aren't wide angled because the image isn't distorted up close.

>>13805277
You can be charged for accidentally shoplifting. I have read NUMEROUS accounts of people being fined and charged, just for going back into Walmart and saying "whoops, I forgot to pay for this, I'd like to buy it please". They just call the cops. If you accidentally steal, never return it, just go to a different store for 6 months.

Theft isn't even a crime here in California anymore. Black kids literally just walk out of stores with shit and will assault the security guard and sue the store (and win) if confronted.

This is true if you're black. Asians still get charged or arrested tho... we don't get that level of black privilege.

>>13805255
>oops, everything in my cart rang up as potatoes

I actually got a free pint of local raw honey because it wouldn't scan and I made this gay joke. Tried to tell the guy that I was just being obnoxious and silly and he still let me have it for free

>>13805033

It's kind of funny though that so many are wearing plastic gloves, it's downright hilarious.

>>13806941
Saw a guy yesterday that works as a security guard for a pawn shop taking a smoke break and he was wearing gloves. Laughed a little bit because the gloves are touching his face as he smokes and the gloves aren't some magical thing that repels bacteria and viruses. If the virus gets on the glove and you still touch your face, then you get infected.

>>13806941
Not sure if pretending to be retarded or genuine

When I had to buy groceries for my ex-gf I would steal from the self checkout rather often.

The trick is to really not steal a lot. You turn a 60 dollar shopping trip into a 40-45 dollar shopping trip. It's easy to not scan smaller things like batteries or bacon for example. You can also act rather flustered at the idea of a self checkout and just haphazardly check yourself out. Like take out all the items and put them on the machine and forget which ones you scanned and which you didn't. Just assume "oh yeah I scanned this bread," when you're really saving 3 dollars, nigger.

>shop with fabric bag
>only empty half out my bag onto the scanner and pay for it
>staff never check my bag because I go into well groomed wearing a suit and I am not currently black.

I did this as a kid shortly after self checkouts first came to my area Walmart. It started off as an accident when I realized I forgot to scan the paper towels in the bottom of my shopping cart. I copped a free candy bar every time I ran into the store for my parents. My conscious got to me after a year or so.

If you don't act like you're doing anything wrong (harder than you may think), don't "accidentally" miss too many dollars worth of scans, and keep aware of your surroundings, you'll never get noticed. Consider how many people are using these per day.
Chances are, no one's looking at you, and if they are, they're not really paying attention.

I've worked at walmart. It's not paranoid. Also wide angle isn't fish-eye lens. You can have a wide angle shot and use a zoom to make it seem like a narrower frame of view.

>>13808202
>I've worked at walmart

Wow.

>>13805733
I did this once at Walmart, and the greeter thanked me for my honesty.
I also accidentally didn’t get charged for stuff at Target, and still routinely shop there.

>>13806056
Machine learning algorithms can be trained to detect anomalous orders, or even orders that are anomalous simply to your face. While it wouldn't just lock itself down if you buy something out of the ordinary, the behaviour you have described could absolutely be detected with a very high accuracy rate. "Anti fraud" ML systems are already in late stages of maturity and are being as cloud services, mostly in the financial sector, but it's only a matter of time before they end up in the retail sector, too. Now feel free to give your layman's hot take about how you can outsmart the AI revolution by giving me an outlier example about how an AI got it wrong a few times.

>>13808779
>Target

You are playing with fire. They are by far the most harsh company on shoplifters. They also have very obvious plain clothes loss prevention employees who just walk around and stalk you. I saw one standing next to me and made him because he had his walkie talkie sticking out of his back pocket.

>>13808783
No, you are wrong and no company is using any sort of such technology.

>This is true if you're black. Asians still get charged or arrested tho... we don't get that level of black privilege.
Blacks are useful tools for white liberals, while Asians aren't, that's why.
Blacks could never usurp the white intellectual elite, they don't even see them as a threat. The only ones who do are the low IQ gutter whites. Asians on the other hand are a very real threat to high IQ whites, and of course the low IQ ones hate them regardless.

>>13808806
Please stop acting like you aren't jewish.

Fucking around with the self scanners is 100% the wrong way to steal from a store. They are watching the area constantly. The more effective method is to go to big stores like target or walmart and grab whatever SMALL and VALUABLE thing you’re going to steal, bring it to the produce section or the diapers aisle, rip it out of it’s packaging, and stuff it in your coat pocket. Better yet, bring the product to the freezer grocery section. Place it in a freezer, then tear away its packing and stuff it. No way anyone will notice you if you are confident.

UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGAGE AREA

MONGO NEED BOOK READING

>>13808884
You're kind of a scumbag aren't you?
Are you some kind of negro that steals from stores? Once you own something for yourself then you wont do that, but then negros don't have any sense of responsibility.

Its priced in. These fag stores wanna automate so they can afford to let some things slip through that arent listed on the lookup or barcode doesnt work. Thats what they get for not having employees bag your groceries.

>>13805033
haha epic joke may I share it on facebook?

>>13808811
no need for disinfo, schlomo. no kikes here unless you look in the mirror.

yes a few times I've scanned an item and placed it in the bagging area but for some reason it wasnt actually added on to the total. It happened with some batteries once and I noticed when I was about to pay that the total wasnt right. I couldn't be bothered rescanning it though so I just pretended I didnt notice and paid as normal

>>13809011
>he uses facebook
hi grandma

>>13805033
Dubs checked.

When that happens to me, the staffer asks me what the price is (as if I'm supposed to know that). I make up something that sounds plausible, they swipe their magic card, key in the price, and that's that.

>>13808906
I don’t do these things. I just have imagination. Sorry if I made you upset.

nigger I do this with literally all my produce every time I use the self checkout

Unironically yes. I've been using these bad boys to get a lot of good quarantine goods.

>>13806764
I can't imagine being so poor that I don't own part of a corporation

>>13805241
I was working the self checkout the other day and I just got poop on my fingers. Maybe you need to slow down or use more lube

>>13805255
I wonder how much money they spent implementing something that can be defeated by two square inches of duct tape

>>13806764
You're not stealing from the corporation but from the middle class manager of the shop. If anything goes wrong he's getting punished. It's not like you're 'solving' the issues of giant corporations by shoplifting.

>>13807038
BASED. I only do this because when I buy alcohol, the Kroger negro takes his sweet time to get over to the counter and approve my purchase. I just keep "scanning" haphazardly because I just don't understand the "high tech"

Be honest anon, you've used this to shoplift.

Still no argument. I know your type. You rely on your audience knowing nothing so that you can always presume yourself the authority, and insist that you have the definitive answer. It's easier than actually challenging yourself to learn something new, isn't it? And everybody (at least in your head) oohs and ahs at what an intelligent and enlightened mind you have. Then you project your Dunning-Kruger complex onto anyone who challenges you. Even if I listed my credentials, you would just call them fake. Two "rebuttals" in and you have already taken us way off the original topic. Pathetic.

This is 4chan, dude. You sound like you come here expecting to take any post at face value, which makes you stupider than anybody ITT.

Do you really think that shit works anymore?

>>13811367
>>'Unexpected item in the bagging area'
They did away with that after they put those hand scanners in and banned plastic bags. I open my bag inside my cart, drop items in as I scan them then grab the hand scanner and get the big stuff. I don't have to put anything in the bagging area.

>>13805033
yes

>>13810835
if you're so smart why do you work at walmart

>>13811410
Well then lucky you anon, cuz it's not the case where I live.

>>13808884
Actually the most 1000iq way to do it is look for an item you want, then cross check for other items the store sells that are cheaper and weigh the same. Then you just take the barcode from the cheap item and scan it.

>>13805033
I thought that if the item isn't scanned, it'll get picked up by the detector on the way out.

This is actually true at the public library. If it doesn't scan it usually means it's been withdrawn, so I just let them have it for free.

This is the case in most places. I live in a 90% white area in the PNW and at my sister's old job niggers would literally walk in and grab a 300$ area rug and casually saunter out without the slightest hint of tact because they know nobody can do shit and the police aren't going to risk their jobs getting involved in that

>>13805751
reminds me off that one time a black guy walked into a store, killed a few employees and costumers, and then just left with over a 1000 dollars wort off stuff. there where armed guards and police officers already present, but nobody dared to do anything. fucking pc cutlure

It's not like they really give a shit unless they're some old lady or autistic faggot. Half the time they just mash in the overwrite code so they can get back to helping boomers who can't figure out how to search for a vegetable.

I never steal intentionally, or rather I never start with the intention to steal when using self checkout stuff
But like hell I'm going to waste 5 minutes waiting for the stoner/old lady minding the machines to find the correct price or look up the code or whatever just so I can pay my 5$ for a box of tendies on top of the 50$ I'm already spending.
The entire point of self checkout machines is so they don't have to pay a real person to do the work, so I'm not going to do it for free.
If they eventually make the whole system work perfectly I'd be happy to pay for everything, the convenience would be easily worth it, but if in trying to prevent small errors like this they make it not convenient enough to be worth my time any more I'll just go back to taking up valuable human cashier time and costing them more overall.

The detector cannot read and detect barcodes in your bag on the way out. The detector works with those plastic knobs on clothes and such that must be removed. They send out a signal that the detector reads. There is nothing contained in a barcode that transmits information without having to physically scan it.
