in other news I may soon never walk into a walmart or target ever again

>>20315295
what's next? you need to buy a subscription to shop there?

Somehow posted on the wrong thread, go figure.
It's a loss prevention subscription.
I'm sure all grocery stores are getting fucked by theft with inflation buttfucking everything.

>>20315295
Sure, on one condition.
No check out controls.

>>20315295
Good, stop stealing shit faggot

>>20315295
social credit scores to qualify for self checkout soon

>>20315295
Then I'll go to the cashier. Fuck you.

>>20315295
watch me getting way fucking bolder about my theft out of spite

>>20315324
You played right into their hand

>>20315345
human cashiers are more expensive

I don't even use self checkout so I couldn't give any less of a shit.

>>20315295

They wants names associated with shrinkage considering face masks are a social norm now. I don't blame them.

>>20315354
It's way faster when you have 2 or 3 items and just want the fuck out of there. Many stores are understaffed these days and lines develop many people deep each with 100 items.

>>20315361
steal the two or three items, bring a walmart bag from home and slip them in when no one is looking

>>20315345
Playing right into their hand would be buying a subscription AND using the self checkout. Having more cashiers on their payroll increases costs.

i have stolen carts full of shit at Walmart, I just use the pay and go. scan it in the aisle and walkout and show the boomer receipt checker the cart on my phone and pretend its my receipt

>>20315295
>you have to pay to do your own self checkout

They've got us by the balls, we have to eat and they've got the food.

Personally I prefer going to a human operated check-out but there's never more then two open and it wastes a ton of time standing around waiting in line.

>>20315391
why do rich people always look so beautiful and happy?

>>20315361
I mostly do my shopping first thing in the morning after my run so there's no wait. Larger stores do tend to have no manned tills that early in the morning so while I claimed otherwise, I do use self checkout on the extremely rare occasions I go to Walmart or some place like it. I don't even remember when last I went to such a store. November, I think.
My lady, on the other hand, does the shopping whenever she well damn pleases and wonders why it takes her so long to get out. When the queues are thirty-seven people each because you went at peak hours, you'll take longer to get out.

>why do actors, people who put on an act for a living, act a certain way?

>>20315361
I'll be completely honest with you, at this point I just walk out with the stuff when there are giant lines and too few cashiers. I don't even try to hide it anymore. The other day I simply walked out with two jugs of vinegar, one in each hand.

>>20315419
you can keep it up to a point but if you do it enough times they will just ban you from the store

>>20315295
thou shalt not steal

>>20315303

>>20315458
then why do they keep stealing from us?

>>20315313
They did this to themselves.

>>20315481
who is they

>>20315375
Why would they hire more cashiers? If anything this gives them the financial incentive to eliminate all cashiers.

>>20315487
you know

>>20315498
yeah i know

>>20315302
>you haven't been doing this already
you are an npc moron, just keep going.

>>20315313
Here's a tip: just hire someone to do the checkout instead of an easily fooled machine. If only there were such a position.

>>20315313
And having Walmart + stops that how exactly?
Why don't they just open more regular lanes?

>>20315419
Based, I did the same.
There was only one cashier and the self checkout was closed, line of 11 people and I had a couple items (NyQuil, aspirin and something else). I just said fuck it and left with the items. Didn't even feel bad either.

>>20315388
That's why everytime I go there everything has a 100% markup. Just pay for your shit.

Minorities ruin everything.

>be me
>honest and don't steal
>Walshart™ tries to make me pay for a stupid subscription fee to self check out

lol guess what? fuck with me and i'll just start stealing a few things at a time until the fee is offset every month by the price of the shit i stole

Walshart™ will be paying this fee, not me.

>>20315515
>have to scan your + card to begin

I remember when I was a kid my friend got kicked out and banned from a grocery store for stealing then resisting arrest/apprehension from security.
Now I hear anyone can just walk out of the store with shit and you people do it all the time.

>>20315513
>Go to Walmart
>Literally 20 cash registers with no employees
>8 self check outs on each side of the store that are completely unattended
I can't believe this problem is happening. Even people that are not thieves are not feeling any guilt stealing from them. I went there a few months ago and rang all of my items up and the machine froze up and there were no employees around. I just said fuck it and left with my $700 worth of groceries without paying. Fuck them for wasting my time

>>20315295
I go to walmart because I was a former poorfag and I have poorfag spending habits. Walmart ain't got shit worth a fucking subscription. I'll go anywhere else at that point that can fucking operate their god damn store properly.

United States is a third world shithole.
Let that sink in for a moment.

>>20315295
If you're going to make a thread about something how about you actually explain the shit instead of posting a screenshot of some literal who article on social media. This shit sounds like more right-wing fear mongering garbage.
>durr, we're in hell!
Fuck off. Tell me what they're actually doing and why before throwing out one-off alarmist value judgments like that. The headline doesn't even make sense without further context unless, even if you assume this has something to do with theft protection, and even all the shit about rampant shoplifting is mostly misinformation, fear mongering, and the corporations themselves overreporting losses as theft in order to misrepresent their numbers.

>>20315703
>entire thread with approx. 25+ plus people (gook moot took away ip users) know exactly what the article is about
Just skimmed through the thread. There's no fucking consensus at all on what it's about. Just people either talking about stealing or talking about other people stealing.

I actually just read an article on each store, and Target isn't doing anything remotely close to what that headline says. Apparently Walmart may try limiting self-checkout to their subscription service in a few stores as an experiment to see what works. It doesn't even have to do with theft. They're literally making changes because the companies are doing better.

>>20315295
And nothing of value was lost.

If I'm going to a store, they're gonna do the scanning for me. That's what I'm paying them for. The only exception I'll make is for rinky dink little shops. But Target or Walmart, they can do their own job

>>20315295
Don't worry. It will get worse.

>>20315960
retarded person alert

>>20315513
but I don't want them to see my embarrassing purchases

I still find it hard to believe people go to walmart when it is less than a 100 bucks for the plus membership, to have the orders delivered for the whole year
I signed up 13 months ago at $98 and last month it was still the same price. I was amazed at that
I could have got it half price this last month because they started to give a discount to EBT poor folks. but I didn't fall for that, I was dead set that they would fuck with my orders or something strange would happen knowing I paid the discounted rate.
and I will not tip the drivers that deliver the stuff to my house
I did go to the store three times last year. to buy socks. the other two times the items were locked up, spray paint and alcohol. the 10 minute waits for an associate had me seeing red both times
I don't think I'll step foot into the place this year
and I can't imagine paying a fee to ring up your own items, hell I'm in the mindset that I might do it if I was offered a discount. boy I'm I an IDIOT

>>20315513
I've stole going through the people checkout before. I put stuff under the cardboard in my sackor leave a couple of flat bags in the cart/bring way more than I need and they never catch me or notice. If they did id just say oops and apologize and pay.

>>20315388
dont you feel like your lucky is going to run dry one of these times?

>>20315930
They will if there aren't any cashiers, dumbass. It won't be optional, you go through self checkout, you get signed up for the self-checkout plan.

>>20316048
if theres no cashiers theft goes up 1000x

>>20315960
>rightoid talking point
Anon...that's not a talking point. That's the core, central ideological philosophy of the Right and the Republican party in America. It's really that simple. Everything they do is for the benefit of the wealthy/ruling class/corporate interests. Anything else they do or say is just to get people NOT to focus on where the money is going. You have to believe a lot of crazy shit to think that it doesn't just come down to money at the end of the day

>>20315982
do they always get your orders correct?

ohio
what i don't like. waiting to get something unlocked, and it seems as soon as I step into a walmart, I'm telling myself I can't wait until I'm out of this place.
plus one time I did use self check out, when I went to scan the item I must have ran the item twice when pulling it from my cart. then the woman attendant got real shitty with me

I really don't want to meet folks at walmart
I live near a downtown area and walk it often

walmart has the lowest prices for a single person (no costco, or bulkstores) and my car won't start so I need a delivery service. everything else I can walk or bus it. I might not even fuck with my vehicle, I don't know

it seems like it all might change soon though. not sure how but at least I have 11 more months on my plus membership

>>20315295
I dont shop in walmart or target so idgaf

>>20316158
If only grocers/super markets enforced their express lanes shit would run smoother. Sucks when you run in for one thing and this bitch is still unloading her full cart at the 10 items or fewer lane with a full conveyor. However less staffing means you are waiting in a long ass line regardless. My walmart has at least 30 self checkout stations and the lines almost stretched to the walls during peak seasons. Even just popping in before work sometimes takes 15 minutes.

>>20316143
You're literally doing the exact fucking thing I'm talking about. You know what the problem is with society, but for some batshit insane reason you think there's a bunch of Jews sitting around a table somewhere just pulling levers and everything else is just for show.

How is it so hard for you to even consider for a second that what you call "Jews" are actually just Capitalists? And they don't have some nefarious plan or ulterior motive other than what they're incentivized to do under Capitalism, which is just to increase capital? And maybe the insane amount of money spent on the political process IS how they're pulling the levers? Which means they want to influence people to vote for their people? Which means people actually do have an effect on the political process?

Just think about it. Who benefits from people not voting and being apathetic? It's definitely not the people who want to change things. It's the people who support the current system and where it's heading. In other words, the people with the wealth and power.

>>20316277

>>20315447
>ban you from the store
walmart wagie here. we've had people that we've trespassed come in numerous times. the managers literally don't do anything, they just tell to watch what they scan.

>>20316293
You're still completely missing the point. It has nothing to do with "mentality" or being "racially sensitive", or even that there's a group of individuals who are the problem. I don't give a fuck if you call them Jews or Bankers or Capitalists or the One Percent or the Wealthy or the Bourgeoisie. They are not the problem. They are just the individuals who happen hold a position of power within the system, and all they're doing is what they're supposed to do in that system, which is pursue their own self-interest. That's literally how Capitalism works. The problem isn't some small group who personally hate you and want you to eat bugs and drink HRT in the tap water just to laugh at you. It's the system itself that's the problem. Always having to blame someone is primitive thinking. It's literally seeing lightning and inventing a God up in the clouds to explain why half the forest just burned down - because there must be some reason someone out there decided to do that.

>>20316266
They try enforcing it and then you get dozens of retards that show up with 34 items and will probably refuse to leave the line. So you've got that to deal with or the extra items. Retards ruin everything.

>>20316099
Marxist detected.

>>20316099
You control very little with your vote, and can't actually effect structural change from withing the system. The problem is that one side is 100% devoted to taking away any possibility of structural change or even individuals having that little bit of political power. So however bad or just ineffective you think the Dems are, you'd have to be crazy not to vote for 4 more years of Biden. That's the reality of the situation and there's no 3rd option. You're either pro-geriatric Israel stooge, or you want Walmart to own everything and make you pay a subscription to get out of bed in the morning and flush your toilet. The 3rd option is you could just kill yourself, but that's not going to make anything better (well, not for you).

>>20315627
>advanced camera ai picks up
lol. the cameras are over 10 years old at the least, they don't pick up shit. the best way to steal is to bring in an old receipt (preferably a longer one). bring a full cart to self checkout and only ring up one or two items. if the guy standing there confronts you show them the receipt and tell them you just had to run back for something. say the same thing to the door guy.
>>20315982
>and I will not tip the drivers that deliver the stuff to my house
as of recently they're making the delivery drivers also shop for the items (similar to how instacart works). i talked to one of the drivers who came through my line. he said he deliberately puts shit like bread and eggs on bottom so they get smashed. he'll also take items that can't be substituted and mark them as not found. also other drivers just don't take the orders (no tip no trip).

>>20316320
>That's literally how Capitalism works.
witewally muh capitalism dough
so whats the answer genius? capitalism is essentially the rule of nature and for you to explain it away because the scorpion is only following its nature and that this is the monolith we call capitalism as a whole is so asinine and reductive

>>20316358
>as of recently they're making the delivery drivers also shop for the items
I don't know or care who shops or delivers
I'll tell my two times I might have been victim
last summer the lady delivery driver had her husband unloading my bags and I was also getting them too, on the last load I noticed a bag still in the back seat with one item. she said that was it.
well there was one item missing
so I just opened the delivery complete email. and told of what I saw on the how was your delivery button. 5 minutes later they were back to drop off my banana pepper rings
then last fall I got an extra item. sweet a bonus four pack of the expensive yogurt, went to try it a little later and realized it had been sitting out at room temp and went bad. tossed them in the trash

I high functioning tard could deliver groceries,the only easier job in the world is toll both attendant. and I'm not paying extra for a service I already pay extra for.

>>20316321

>capitalism is essentially the rule of nature
Anon…capitalism is only a few hundred years old. Naturalizing and reifying a social construct that we know is specific to a certain historical time and place just because it happens to be the one you were born into is literally the textbook definition of ideology (“blue pilled” in internet parlance - though that can be confusing because /pol/ uses “red pilled” to refer to the exact opposite of what it actually means).

And I’m not “explaining away” capitalism. I’m literally doing the opposite and identifying it as the real problem. The solution is to move beyond capitalism, or at least change it enough to get out of the dystopian timeline we’re living in which EVERYONE agrees is not working. How that actually happens is this thing called “politics”, which means people figuring out ways to work out their differences in order to work towards common goals. Not knowing exactly how to solve a problem isn’t the same as identifying what the problem is, and you are conflating the two if you say, “well if you can’t give me all the answers you must be wrong and we should just stop trying to right this ship we both agree is sinking.”

>>20315295
kek Target is just limiting self-checkout to 10 items or less, which is what it should have been all along. It will keep the line moving more smoothly, and stop the riff-raff from stealing quite as much.

>>20317927
You're describing something that happened 20 years ago, retard. Walmart raised their prices years ago and stopped being so cheap other places can't compete. That's why fucking Target of all places is considered competition. Small towns are still fucked, but everywhere else Walmart actually has to try now because underpricing everything was only a short-term strategy.

>>20315295

>>20317949
>even the small amount of meat and veg I buy is not overpriced
It is for me. Walmart charges way more for those fresh ingredients than others stores in my area but things like flour, tinned fish, frozen pot pies and other factory packaged stuff are almost always cheaper at Wally World. Maybe it varies location to location. Other than Walmart, we've got 14 full-sized supermarkets within two miles of my house not to mention the smaller yet still inexplicably full service supermarkets (another six) and all the corner shops/bodegas (can't keep track, there are so fucking many here). Nine of those supermarkets are literally all on the same 2.5 mile stretch of road so it's not even inconvenient too shop at multiple places.
So with that much competition, they have to keep prices down.

>>20317986
>14 full-sized supermarkets
15! I forgot about this one just on the edge of that two miles, right by the highway on-ramp. With so many choices, it's unsurprising I'd forget some.

The predominant narrative is that the wealthy vote Republican because they lower taxes and deregulate industry, while the Democrats want to raise taxes on the rich, break up mega corporations, restrict oil drilling and fracking, and increase welfare. I have no clue what Vox may have said, but it’s not how anyone thinks of the two parties.

>>20318053

Why would that not appeal to the working class? You know, who don't have a lot of money to give to a government they don't trust with their own industry?

How could self-checkouts work in a country where 80% of the population thinks credit and/or debit cards are a scam and only accept and use cash?

>>20315348
That's what they thought, but people are stealing product in self checkout lanes line mad. Leaving stuff in the cart, spoofing the wrong barcode over expensive items, generally being sneaky about how they swipe stuff over the scanner. It costs them more in shrink to operate purely off of self checkout than it is to pay holiday and benefits to a real human bean.

>out-of-touch with idioms
It must not be an American idiom, which would make sense since anon seems to be clueless about American politics. The closest idiom I’m familiar with has to do with being sold a bridge. But that couldn’t be what was being referred to, since the entire point is that you can’t actually buy a bridge. The implication is that you’re being gullible, which would be ironic because it’s literally Biden who has been building bridges (which is why I assumed it was meant literally). Also, no. It was always the rich who benefit from tax breaks. Of course they include little performative tax breaks for everyone else so the retards can say, “see?! I got $200 back this year because of these amazing Republican tax cuts!” When in reality all it’s doing is making everything more expensive for them.

>>20315348
Absolutely incorrect. You have NO IDEA of the scale of theft that goes on through self checkouts. The overwhelming majority of people have no issues with doing morally bad things when nobody is watching them.

When Target loses money from shoplifters, how do you think they react? Do you think the CEO says "damn, there goes money from my paycheck"? No, they rise their prices to cover it.

Target, and all retail stores, have a budget for theft. It's lumped in with all the other types of lost inventory like spoilage, damaged packaging, past sell by, etc. They call it shrinkage.

Are there immorally good things?
Also, what bad things do you expect people do when no one is watching? I don't steal, watched or not. I don't kill. I'm not an adulterer. I don't covet. I don't make graven images. I attend services. I honour my parents. I've no gods before the Lord and I don't take His name in vain (for criminy's sake, I say "Oh my gosh!" much to the amusement of people around me hearing a tall guy like me say "gosh"). The only thing I might do that you might consider bad is lie, but that, sadly, is often necessary in today's world to get anything done. For example, I had to lie to our insurance today to get a medication the missus needs expedited. We'll have them by Thursday at the latest and our pharmacy, a local mom'n'pop, lied by giving me five pills to hold her over until the approval goes through (they're not even painkillers! They're for eczema!) that they will take out of the filled prescription when one of us picks it up on Friday.
If I think most people have similar morals to mine, even if I know most people don't attend religious services, and you think most people lack these same morals, does that imply anything about you?

>>20318514
I don’t think I ever knew where that came from. In any case, I knew what it meant. It doesn’t make any sense to say, “haven’t you bought enough bridges” unless you’re actually getting scammed, but that’s the opposite of what’s happening in this context.

I mean, again, there are literal bridges being built because of Biden; whereas Trump spent four years saying “two more weeks until infrastructure week” and didn’t do shit, even with both chambers. Biden passed infrastructure legislation almost immediately with no Republican votes, and then every Republican representative flew back to their home district to do a photo op when construction was started ON A LITERAL BRIDGE so that they could take credit for something EXTREMELY POPULAR that they voted against. Who’s being scammed again?

Technically you should be thanking Trump. Biden hasn’t actually changed any of the his boarder policies (he put Kamala in charge and said “good luck, lol” because that’s a losing issue whatever you do, which is why the same boarder policies are in place today that were approved by Trump).

I don't even go on /pol/, I hate politics with a passion

>>20318871
A couple points to add to this: By every metric, Obama kicked more illegals out of the country than Trump, which means Trump was the most ineffective president when it comes to border security in at least the last 15 years (he also presided over the worst economic downturn in the economy since the crash in 2008, while also spending more than any president in history who wasn’t in office during a world war - and he didn’t even accomplish anything lol).

Secondly, if you’re in a hotel you should probably also thank Greg Abbott or Ron DeSantis. They’ve been (likely illegally) using their state’s tax dollars to ship immigrants from the border into the heartland before even being processed and documented, which means you’ll likely have no issue staying in the country. DeSantis really loves you brown people. Florida doesn’t even share a boarder with Mexico, but out of the goodness of his heart he went around the legal process and spent Florida tax dollars to get you away from the fucked up situation at the boarder so that you can live your life in America without jumping through a bunch of hoops

Just steal.

>Just think about it. Who benefits from people not voting and being apathetic? It's definitely not the people who want to change things.
Not voting is unironically how you change things. If you assume the system works, a sufficient amount of non-voters breaks the status quo and undermines the legitimacy of current government. It's why many countries introduced fines for not voting, imagine a 10% voter turnout, at that point you can really convince people and even other states that yours isn't democratically chosen. It's a real gateway to a revolution or foreign intervention.

Other than that, low voter turnout means new parties with new programs have an actual chance of succeeding. You can't have new things with a high voter turnout, people will just vote for the "lesser evil" shit, it naturally leads to a two party system. Low turnout is a clear message that people are satsified with the current selection of choices and incentivizes offering new choices.

Don't vote.

The media can spin anything.

>>20319892
>imagine a 10% voter turnout
That's what you people always say, but that's never going to fucking happen no matter how much YOU want it. If you can get 90% of people not to vote (I mean most people already don't vote...) why not just skip straight to the revolution? And saying both that not voting "sends a message" to a political party while also advocating for accelerationism is contradictory. It doesn't really matter because you're simply wrong that not voting sends any kind of message. By not voting you don't have a voice, and whatever it is you want different WONT be heard. If you're a leftist, that means the Democratic party will move further to the right, because they think, "if those people aren't going to vote anyway, them why go more progressive when it might alienate more moderate voters?" That's all you're doing when you don't vote. If you think any 1st world, Western country is anywhere near revolution you're delusional, or more likely immature.

You know what the right wants less than anything and will do everything to not let happen? Rank choice voting, because they're the ones who benefit from a two party system. That's the only real path out of a two party system right now. Suck it up and vote, but vote for the most progressive candidates down ballot and in the primaries. Biden has been the most progressive president in our lifetime because Bernie ran as a Democrat. They said, "oh shit, there's a lot of people with these ideas maybe we need to change our policies."

That's not going to get us out of the system all together, but the opposite is literally fascism and having any political voice that matters. I'm sorry, but nobody is overthrowing the US government any time soon through violence. That's just not on the table.

I ended up buying a bigger TV with that because prices had come down. Of course I opted for the warranty again.

They're not paying anyone anything more. All you're doing is giving some wagie who probably already hates the company they work for some extra work. They build loss prevention into the prices, by the way. Your actions aren't going to have an effect on anything, but if losses go up, prices go up. So thanks. You're the one making things more expensive. The company doesn't have to do shit if it means profits go down. They literally have a legal obligation to increase profits as a corporation.

Serious question, what does a subscription to a place like Walmart give you? cheaper prices? Surely a membership card could do that, and be free too

>>20319917
Not until the supply chain to stops increasing the cost of their services.

>>20321004
It's mostly for getting shit delivered or shipped to you. It's basically Amazon Prime, where the main point is that you're paying a subscription to save money on shipping (which of course incentivizes you to buy everything through them). And then there's a bunch of random other perks and specials, but it doesn't make anything cheaper if you just walk into a Walmart and start shopping.

>>20315388
That only works a few times, anon.
They're usually building a case on you in the background when you pull that shit and then they fuck you in the ass with it all at once when they finally catch you.

>>20321129
I doubt that anon is being honest. Don't you still have to go through the self-checkout to check out. You can't just walk through the front door with a full cart right out of the main store. They got people watching that shit (the old guy sitting there is just for show...and probably to humiliate people who lost their businesses when Walmart moved into town and weren't able to retire).

>>20318294
Only on expensive items, or on everything in diverse and vibrant multicultural areas.

>>20315405
Every time I've tried that, they put damn near every single item into its own bag. Feels extremely wasteful. I can use some of them, but not nearly that many.

>>20321189
>in diverse and vibrant multicultural areas
That's every Walmart and the parking lot around it. Beyond that, it might be a pretty nice middle class neighborhood, but Walmarts are kind of like little islands that exist here and there and all the shittiest people seem to come with them. I rarely even go to them, but I'm pretty sure they put the security things on all the baskets in every one I've been to (obviously you can't for the cart, since you take that outside).

>>20321245
Now that I think about it, I don't see why they can't have a security detector on the cart that needs to be deactivated at the register before you can leave the store without it going off. Doesn't seem that complicated. Then again, someone almost always notices when someone tries to walk out with a cart, and then it just becomes a really uneven chase - unless there's no security.

>>20319464
You may not like this but the same "people" would be doing the same shit and taking up even more of your time in conventional checkout lines. In fact it would be way worse. Usually self checkout has a common line that feeds into like 5-10 individual registers so while the nogs fight with the wagies you can just slip right by them. In a normal checkout, you're buried in the line you are in and have to tough it out because switching and going to the back of another line is even worse than that. I feel like everybody who bitches about self-checkout has actually forgotten what normal checkouts were like.

>>20321271
It was quicker when there were more cashiers because the cashier was faster and more experienced than the bumbling idiots who only do it once a week at self-checkout. People were more civilised, and would let you go ahead of them if you only had a couple of items. There would be an extra express lane open at peak hours.

The coupon thing has been abandoned in most parts of the world because simply advertising currently discounted items is more effective at attracting customers, so that's not a relevant factor.

>>20321192

You shouldn't expect that all the time. They aren't obligated.

>>20321303
>It was quicker when there were more cashiers because the cashier was faster and more experienced
Cope. What year was this true in? I remember checkouts being staffed by extremely braindead bitches and if you were lucky enough to get a bagger it was as if they packed everything in the most retarded way possible on purpose. Plus the thing I already said about being stuck in one line behind EBTmaxxed couponpilled obese karens. Self-checkouts were always a huge improvement and they still are to this day. If they remove self checkout there's a very good chance that I'd switch to delivery rather than go back to that bullshit.

>>20321938
That’s kind of an oxymoron. They sell in bulk at slightly lower prices, and require a subscription to make up for the difference in the lower turnover rate than something like Restaurant Depot. It’s mostly for people with families who want to buy things in bulk once a month.

This. I would love nothing more than to use the self-checkout, but it takes twice as long and requires twice as much contact with staff as using a cashier because every item makes the machine whine and demand to talk to a manager, and if I bring my own bag, I have to get that OKed too. What's the point? I would absolutely make a deposit or go through some one-time verification process if it meant I could actually check out without human contact.

>>20322106

For this one, you wouldn't be able to ask where anything is, return an item, or get help from anyone that is walking around the store, but you could stand in line and wait for the one regular customer service representative that helps all non-subscription members. They give you a number and if you are not present the entire duration of your 1-2 hour wait time then you are removed from line

? I don't steal, and I don't know anyone else who does, either. Is this projection? Do YOU steal?

>>20318505
I have contemplated stealing shit through self-checkout of the price is ridiculous but I simply tell myself "No. You're not a nigger."

>>20321129
thats not true, the 400 dollars in meat and cheeses I walk out with is more than enough for a case
>>20321171
obviously you're retarded, I scan the items at the aisle, pretend to scan my phone at checkout and then walk out. if they ask for my receipt I just show them the cart on my phone as if its the receipt. the 83 year old woman probably doesn't even know how scan and go works

>>20322709
I tell myself "there's so many niggers in the store today that if I steal, they will probably get blamed instead of me" like farting SBD when there's an old person nearby

>>20322773
> the 83 year old woman probably doesn't even know how scan and go works
If they "catch" you all you have to do in this case is pretend to be retarded as well. Most people are extremely fucking stupid so just acting genuinely confused like you didn't know what was going on or what you were supposed to do is a free pass. I don't think it would work multiple times but if you get busted walking out with $400 of shit you probably better just accept fate and start going to a new store rather than trying again

>>20322695
>oh you want to return this item?
>well actually due to real time pricing its worth less today so we wont refund you the full price
>also here is your mandatory hourly compounding interest charge

bro for real: we need to start gardening, and going to farmers markets. and really, really looking at what they're putting in there grocers or local. there is new poisons they can use for food and it's called nanotech. tech store=tech food see? we need to communicate directly with farmers, and see what they are doing.

>>20315295
They should have given customers bags for free instead of pawning off the expense to them for zero reason when every other item delivered to the store comes in plastic bags. Stupid PR and you teach people how to steal from you. All it takes is you realizing you are getting screwed on bags, taking 'a stand, and that stand developing into you not paying for certain produce or pocketing bullion because it's 'more expensive than it should be'

>>20315302
Seriously this. Mine never has more than two cashiers. Fuck them if they think they're going to charge me. If they don't want niggers stealing everything, they can check receipts at the door.

>>20316730
The whole planet just needs less people. Both left and right actively encourage people to have more children than they can afford. That's the problem.

>>20322703
It's not projection. It's quite clear from the financial reports that self-checkouts have led to an escalation in theft.

>>20320388
>that's never going to fucking happen no matter how much YOU want it
Of course, your individual vote doesn't matter. Literally. Even if you assume elections are fair and every vote is counted, there has never been an election where the outcome came down to one vote. As as individual, your vote is really something you do just to feel content. And I'm more than content to not participate.
>And saying both that not voting "sends a message" to a political party while also advocating for accelerationism is contradictory.
There's degrees. Of course you the state won't just spontaneously ignite one voter turnout gets low enough. But once you get to that point, the political climate is open to change. Over time.
>By not voting you don't have a voice, and whatever it is you want different WONT be heard.
Sure dude, no one will just look at 90% of population not voting and think they could leverage the situation in their favor if they create a new political party. Totally.
>Suck it up and vote, but vote for the most progressive candidates down ballot and in the primaries.
Progressive candidates do not represent my interests, nor do conservative candidates. You still don't understand. I refuse to support people who do not support me. Take your mental gymnastics, "lesser evil" bullshit and stick them up your ass. My vote own't change the world anyways, I will get buckfucked raw regardless, but at least I can go to sleep everyday knowing I didn't support it, unlike you.

The only thing I want and would be willing for the Goy+ sub is if they made it so Goy+ members could shop at the store 24/7 again. I work nights and Walmart deleting 24 hour shopping has ruined my schedule.

>>20323558
That makes little sense. They're open for every hour you're not working. Being closed for some night hours is inconvenient for day workers, not you.

>>20323037
That's how they sell and buy back their shares, so yes.

>>20323568
What's the diarrhea coming out of your mouth, faggot? On my days off I keep the same schedule so I am awake when the store is closed now.

>>20323573
Don't shop on your days off. That's wasting time on your days off. Distribute your chores throughout your work days, and you get to properly relax through the weekend.

>>20323558
yeah fuck covid and fuck wally world for ending 24/7

>>20315644

That’s like 3-4 months worth of groceries for me

>>20320939
My nearest PetSmart is on the first floor of a 3-storey Target, a third to half of the second floor is a mini-CVS and a quarter of the the third is a combination Target Cafe/Pizza Hut. Multistorey Targets are weird.

>>20322070
uh…/n/bros…our response…?

>>20315388
What's stopping me from going to Walmart twice the first time paying for my groceries and the next time getting the exact same things and showing the security boomer the old receipt?

>>20315405
Did that once and was missing half the products on my list

>>20318240
Honestly the trashiest people I see at Costco are the fat white people. Everyone else is decent and respectable regardless of ethnicity

>>20315354
>>20315361
Since find both options equally unpleasant, i will guage how long the lines are, how many registers are open, the amount of items in people's carts, and how many boomers are in line to get a feel for the throughput for each. Generally the self checkouts move faster, unless .25 or more of the line is hapless senior citizens.

>>20323522
>your individual vote doesn't matter
Yeah, but if you can convince a few million people that their vote doesn't matter it...matters. The thing is, you're never going to do that, and it's never just going to happen organically. Again, if 90% of people are already that disillusioned with the political system then why would not voting be the thing they rally around? The entire idea that not voting accomplishes anything is just completely incoherent.
>no one will just look at 90% of population not voting and think they could leverage the situation in their favor if they create a new political party
Or how about you just make rank choice voting your main issue? Like, you said you're not progressive, so what kind of political party do you expect enough people to regain confidence in voting? And why hasn't that happened already?
>take your mental gymnastics, "lesser evil" bullshit
Calling lesser evil bullshit "mental gymnastics" is pretty fucking ironic. That's just the reality. You're the one living in some fantasy world, abstracted from anything real. The vast majority of people vote not because they believe in one party, but because they think the other party is going to be terrible. Republicans don't even have a platform anymore other than, "if you don't vote for us the blm-antifa-communist thugs are going to burn your house down and rape your children."

If you think voting is a matter of conscience, you've already lost the plot. It's a very easy, strategic action to move things closer to what you'd want to see. It's mind-blowing you'd think that voting for one of the two main parties would somehow define your entire identity for 2-4 years. Right now you're doing less than nothing and just whining like a baby and thinking you're smart. I don't even care what you want, but if it's something different vote for the shitty Dems, because the other side's entire existence depends on the two party system. Otherwise just shut up about it.

>>20324072

You must be stupid, or just not buy any food items. They charge upwards of 300% on many food items compared to in-store prices, and that's not accounting for the myriad of things you'll look up and find "oops nope you have to do pickup for this, I don't care that the listing says it's available for shipping".

I’m not on of the people you replied to, and I generally agree with you, but it’s actually a part of /ck/ culture to reply to shitpost/bait threads and do an uno reversal to turn it into an actual discussion (often some of the best discussions) in spite of the OP’s intention. They’re often not triggered or falling for bait. They’re pretending to not have understood that it was a bait thread/post and pivoting to something actually interesting.

It’s obviously not always the case, but you shouldn’t be so quick to assume that someone replying to bait doesn’t know what they’re doing. It’s also just a way to make the bait irrelevant while hijacking the thread, which is more effective than just ignoring it, with the added bonus that people will keep bumping the thread and you can have a good conversation that’s actually on topic, but the shitposter that started it is basically ignored. Just sayan.

Obviously that's always the case, and you should be quick to assume that someone replying to bait has no clue what they're doing. It's also just a way to make the bait relevant and hijack the thread, which is more effective than letting it be ignored, with the added bonus that people will keep bumping the thread so you can keep derailing conversations across the board, and the shitposter that started it is honed in on.

It's posts like these that remind me this board is mostly just 14 year olds posting fast food threads. The subscription you pay to use the line also works as a tracking mechanism. They will be able to know it was you and easily cancel your subscription, ban you from ever subscribing again, and probably ban you from the store or every store.

The AP coach at my store takes his job very seriously and is salivating at the mouth for them to switch to this because he says it would make the job so much easier. I've been coached by him multiple times before because I didn't record the hot ticket items correctly, and I'm not even on his team.
>but your store is probably one of the better run ones!
Kek nope, it's a shithole. Never underestimate how seriously some random guy can take his job no matter how useless you may think it is. It absolutely is just a theft prevention method and not just for the obvious reason. It's exactly because it will make it easier for AP to track people who think buying the membership will allow them to just steal whatever as well
