This always seemed like one of those things that's stupidly easy to do, you're relatively unlikely to get caught at, but if you do get caught you might be fucked.

Maybe you'll just get barred from the store, maybe you'll end up with a criminal record that fucks you over for life. Personally not worth the risk to save a few bucks.

>go up and down the rest of the aisles eating my chips and drinking my drink putting random shit in my cart

>walk out of the store

>>6906340
No one ever thinks they'll get caught.

Also, most businesses have some built in loss prevention expenses. If you steal from the same store you shop at regularly then you're just going to end up paying it back in the long term with increased prices.

*yawn* Call back when you have new material. We all know that 99% of the people who post these haven't even stolen a pen from the DMV.

>>6906340
Lot of places shoplifting is dealt with out of the criminal courts. They'll usually threaten you with taking it to the courts, which is honestly usually in everyone's best interest. Typically you'll see two things:

- They'll make you sign something acknowledging that you are banned from the premises/possibly their other properties, and if you ever go back then they'll have you arrested for trespass
- Demand compensation for the item. This is a civil court matter, and most states allow them to charge up to twice the cost of the item plus extra for costs and such.

Either way though, shoplifting is still an ultra pleb thing to do.

>>6906340
When you get caught (and you WILL get caught) the cost of court fees, damages, and time wasted on your case will be greater than the money you saved. It's just not worth it, even though swapping labels or using the wrong code is so easy. Stores can keep track of that shit too, they'll find out.

I'm fairly sure the self checkouts randomly fuck up in purpose so the girl has to come over and check your things.

>work retail in Canada when in university
>shoplifting frustrating as fuck
>basically not allowed to actually do anything, even security can't really do shit besides call the police

>>6906399
Then they're not really self checkouts are they?

>>6906399
could be. wouldnt surprise me because we put a man on the moon 50 years ago, and you are telling me automatic scanners cant read a loaf of bread?

>>6906406
I don't think it's a question of "Can" or "Can't," more of "It can, but we know people shoplift so we make an excuse to have the attendant come over and make sure you aren't shoplifting"

>>6906399
No, they really don't.

Hell, a lot of places are starting to pump the breaks on self checkout because the amount of theft it allows is unreal.

They've already thwarted shop lifting by checking for weight every time you scan an item at my store

>>6906443
Doesn't apply to things you find the code for yourself, such as things you bag yourself in whatever aisle.

>>6906443
Maybe you should read OPs post before you reply

>>6906451
>>6906443
This would still work though, for something like 2lbs of chicken as 2lbs of carrots.

>>6906458
No it wouldn't work, tard. 2 pounds is 2 pounds.

>>6906463
what are you talking about...? You could get away with it because 2 pounds of "chicken" is the same as 2 pounds of "carrots"

>>6906435
Didn't think that one through then. There has to be done system. Otherwise it's like going to space and realising when you get there you forgot to design a space suit or invent a parachute.

Surely the amount they save in not having cashiers makes up some of that loss.

>>6906467
Your unclear post saying "that would work" was too vague, to the point where I didn't know if you thought running something as something else would work, or the stores weighing system would somehow fool it.

I don't get why people who would never shoplift would do this at self check outs. It's the same fucking thing, less reward for stealing and same punishment / moral consequence when getting caught.

>>6906468
It depends; you have to remember that employees are rather expensive, even minimum wage ones. The companies that went at it full force are now realizing that theft has increased rapidly, and now that credit card fraud is becoming a store issue rather than a bank issue there are increasing concerns about the security of automated checkouts.

The clerks that watch over them tend to be there more for issues of purchasing alcohol or tobacco.

>>6906421
No Srsly.
>Scan item.
>registers
>Put it down
>machine says put the item down.
>pick up item and put it back down.
>unexpected item.

>>6906468
They generally rely on:
- Cashiers keeping an eye on things. Most are set up so the cashier can see the stations and see a list of what's being rung up on their screen.
- Most people being generally honest or at least fearful of getting arrested to say $10.

Of course, the cashiers watching the self checkouts are unreliable, and people can be pretty shitty.

>>6906479
>The clerks that watch over them tend to be there more for issues of purchasing alcohol or tobacco.

Not in the uk.

>>6906485
Fine. For issues of purchasing anything sharper than a boiled egg.

Oh god no. Imagine if a bit of the shell broke off and got in your eye.

>tfw cheeky banter

I got busted doing this by the senior lady working the register thing there. She came zooming over and said something like "Sir these aren't rolled oats" and then asked me what they actually were. I just played dumb and made her void them.

Since then I see her all the time and she gives me nasty looks but that's all that's come of it. Plus I still do the same heist all the time when she has her back turned. You nerds claiming OMG YOU COULD GO TO PRISON need to come back to reality.

>>6906406
Just cause it's the future now doesn't mean that everything isn't far more technological looking than it actually is and held together with little more than string and paper clips.

>>6906495
Sure could be thinking you could pull a gun on her. People have done worse for less. It's not worth her paycheck to hassle you anymore than she's supposed to in front of the management.
You'll get a jobsworth one day. He'll make you day pretty crappy.

>>6906495
Would you have sucked her dick to get out of the arrest?

>>6906498
It's actually shocking how poorly engineered stuff like this is.

Probably because the talented software and hardware engineers that could build a really polished system find much cooler things to work on.

Pretty much every bit of hardware and software in the retail industry, from point of sale to inventory management feels like it was written by a team of high school kids in VB6.

Underrated post

>>6906508
funny you say that stuff. i recently bought an off-brand mp4 player, and the "random" setting is a very basic, obvious equation. it goes down 3 songs from the first track on the list, then up 5, then down the list 8 songs, then back up 2 etc, every time

began to think i was experiencing deja vu, but its really just some underpaid indian programmer's awful work

>>6906508
First jobs and worst jobs. Anyone decent is doing high tech stuff (which is still flashier looking than it actually is.)

>>6906518
Yup. My first job was with a huge company Keane working on some seriously shitty software. The basic workforce consisted of two core groups:
- people fresh out of school using this as a first job
- people who were so shitty they couldn't get a better job and were basically stuck there

The project I worked on was shit, and if I'm honest, I made it shittier because I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. When I did start to know what the fuck I was doing, I found a much better job.

Most people start out shitty, you have to write some shit code to get it out of your system, and a huge majority of that shitty code ends up in accounting systems and retails systems where they want cheap over good and the only people willing to dedicate their lives to a better cash register have little other options.

>>6906508
It's fun too when you realize how much indifference and lack of adaption there is.

When I was in college, I was working retail and realized that the point of sale system was over 25 years old. It failed constantly, and when tax codes changed, the entire system collapsed.

well since my name isn't Jamal or Tyrone I don't steal.

I only do this with organic produce. No reason I should be charged 50 cents a pound more for something the source locally and pay less for usually.

inb4 muh organic. I've had better luck with quality when it comes to organic. It has a much faster turn around in my area so it's almost always fresher.

But self checkouts no the difference here in UK so can't do this shit anymore

>organic tomatoes
>mark as bananas

Why not just fill the banana peel with meat so nobody will ever know?

>>6906539
White people steal pussy shit like candy bars, so you aren't making a real point.

>>6908147
No, white people get jobs and contribute to society

>>6908147
No, gypsies, shitskins and somalis steal

Whites build society and make sure every item is registered in the checkout

>>6906340
Or you could just say WOOPS lol entered the wrong code, didn't even see LOL silly me!

>>6907333
>accidentally select organic bananas

>>6908164
I once saw a white woman trying to steal meat by sticking in in a clear vinyl purse.

>>6908175
That only works if you ring it up as something one number off.

>take organic, expensive produce

>>6906340
>>6906381

I don't know about in the US, but in the UK scanning an item through as something else is fraud rather than shoplifting. If caught, you'd be better off if you'd just stolen it.

Sure. Get an accomplice, have them shoplift. You walk through first, set off alarm. They walk through immediately afterwards. They'll assume the alarm is you, and while they're searching you the other person gets away.

>>6906473
I do it because suddenly I am being expected to do a task for free that the store otherwise would have had to pay a human to do. Should I come in on my weekends and clean the floors for them? Fuck no. So why should I be expected to check out my own groceries and bag my shit without being compensated? It's a fucking joke and another step in taking work away from people and making the owners of the means of production richer.

That's because no one here does. People claim they do that shit all the time but it's all just nonsense. They make it up and post it on here to get a rise out of everyone else and start arguments.

>>6906314
This kind of thing is why I can't really identify with many 4chan boards any more. It seems like relentless poorfaggotry, and most of the board seems proud of that somehow. Like there is nobility in being poor.

I used to read /out/, but there can't be any discussion of anything other than walmart tier goods or the poorfags will flood the thread. Same with /k/.

I don't ring up meat as bananas. As a matter of fact I don't ring up anything at all, I have a a guy who shops for me, because I am smart and motivated and paid attention in school when they taught shit so I don't have to work a retard job.

>>6916708
Poor people think shit like that.

The fact is there are many people who make money faster than they could possibly spend it even if they ring up their fucking pine nuts as pine nuts. I could buy pine nuts all day and not outrun my income.

>>6916715
Why get upset over this though? It's obvious that only a small percentage can get to be wealthy or rich, while the vast majority is in the middle or lower. Be happy that you are where you are, but don't be upset that not everyone is as lucky as you.

>>6916739
Because it clogs up every discussion.

I don't care what people buy or don't buy, and I would like that reciprocated. But poorfags can't seem to do that. Post on /k/ that you bought an HK, and most of the replies will tell you you spent too much money and got raped by HK and you are stupid and you should have bought a SCCY for half as much because it is just as good.

>>6916749
It's mostly Americans who act like this. I posted a picture of a quality steak once and I got called a hipster and richfag. And I'm lower middle class here in Western Europe.

You know that some self service checkouts has the helper stand next to a monitor?

Loads of self service checkouts have a camera next to the barcode scanner that'll take a picture of the item next to the name of what it's supposed to be.

If a store notices you doing this, they WILL prosecute.

they're probably going to start stamping bar codes on every single piece of fruit now thanks to you degenerate edgelord fucks

Wait, what is the point of having employees that work at the self-service checkout if they're meant to save money by not hiring cashiers?

Why not just have no people there and the money you save by not having them is more than the money lost due to shoplifting?

I was actually an APA at walmart for 4 months and literally did exactly that.

lol you are all some fucking bitches. Learn how to do this shit. It's fucking retail, not robbing a bank. If some shitheel minimum wagecuck accosts you at the self-checkout, make fucking scene. Raise your voice ask if they are accusing you of shoplifting. 9 times out of 10 they will stand down as soon as you loudly demand "ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF SHOPLIFTING?" Wrongful accusations of shoplifting are massive lawsuits for the company, and the worker will be terminated immediately. They are retail workers, not federal marshals. You as the customer have the upper hand.

LOL.. oh my.. I worked grocery retail in the good old... U. S. of A. I had a manager once who chased a shoplifter into the parking lot, the scummy fuck jumped in his car thinking he was home free..

oh.. but he didn't realize my manager was insane and couldn't register pain in his right hand.

So... My manager proceeds to jump on the guy's car and PUNCH HIS GOD BLESSED AMERICAN FIST through the guy's fucking driver side window.

He dragged that fucker through his window and tossed his ass on the asphalt.

This was in Florida and the shoplifter? Some scummy Canadian snow bird who learned his place that day. At the hands of AMERICAN JUSTICE.

I should also add that I'm not talking about stealing high-end items or massive amounts at a time. And I'm NOT talking about doing dumb shit like assaulting or threatening the life of the worker who stops you. I'm talking about if you rang up the item numbers or the item's wight wrong and some goody two shoes asshole workers wants to give you grief about it. Don't just snap to attention at their demands, make a scene. If they want to give you grief over a 20 cent difference, make it hard for them.

Why not just steal something cheap you poorfags.So now people who work hard for money have to pay out the ass to feed themselves.

>>6917822
As I said before, as a customer I have the upper hand. Go ahead and "make it harder for [me]". You accuse me of shoplifting because if a 20 cent discrepancy in your shitty self-checkouts, you're job is not worth shit and your company now has a massive suit on their hands. Believe me, you're getting in over your head. You want to try and make me feel like a criminal because your shitty self-checkout is a piece of garbage, I will go directly to your store manager and if that doesn't work your district or regional manager. Is it worth it?

>>6917957
lol, no. Not at all. That is entirely and thoroughly untrue. How old are you? You seem very young. Don't believe everything the school resource officer tells you. You cannot tell me that a (likely misdemeanor) conviction of shoplifting is going to ruin someone's life forever. You might not get hired in retail. You can leave the country after a certain amount of time has passed and most states also restore the rights to vote and certain firearms (not pistol permits) to convicted felons. The establishment wants you to think that your life is over so that you go back to crime and eventually back to prison, but it's just not true.

>>6917957
>No one cares what you, just that you have a record so they want nothing to do with you

Yea, maybe shallow, judgmental people. If someone refuses to associate with you because you have a conviction of stealing $5 worth of produce on your record, fuck them. That is entirely their loss.

>the label says 0.001 kg *

I've only taken advantage of the self-checkout a couple times because I refuse to use it in the first place. I'm not a cashier, I don't work at the store, so I'm got going to bag my own fucking groceries.

Anyway, one time I bought a bunch of stuff from the deli. I was scanning and throwing it in but realized some of it didn't scan it wasn't detecting the weight. Ended up scanning like 15$ in wings and got about 40$ worth.

Also one time I would get a brown paper bag for mushrooms, then put something expensive in it, like crest whitening strips or something and then fill it up with mushrooms.

There are so many ways to steal from self-checkout and not get caught it's fucking amazing that they have them in stores. I guess most people really don't want to bother or are too dumb to game the system.

In Brazil most eggs now come in the plastic box with a removable sleeve like in the picture
>remove sleeve and open box to check if eggs are all intact
>do this with a couple boxes, one expensive organic eggs and other cheap regular brown eggs
>switch sleeves
Never actually done it, but I think about doing it every single time.

Damn bro, we're talking about theft of a few dollars worth of food here, not fucking murder. You come off as judgmental as fuck. Everyone has fucked up at some point, shit you probably touch kids, kill yourself my man.

Nice projection, thief.
All non-necessary theft in principle is wrong.

>>6921630

obviously it's wrong.

that doesn't mean i still don't do it.. i always get the $20/lb shrimp and other expensive seafood and check it out as rolled oats. stealing is fun, too; it's so satisfying knowing you got away with it.

>>6921163
It has nothing to do with wanting or needing to do it. I feel the obligation to do it since I'm doing the work of bagging my own groceries it's the stores way of paying me for my labour.

what about the poor guy who goes to rent black ops but gets a bit of paper instead?

>>6921648
Scum

>>6921672
I was thinking 'you'll get caught by your credit card' but there's no way for them to prove which person who rented it kept the disk. It would be really easy to identify a pattern if you kept doing it though.

>>6921708
he should consider himself lucky

>>6921768
Well, the last person to rent that particular disc without calling in and saying "hey, wtf, I got a piece of paper instead of a game" would be looking pretty suspicious to me, if I were a redbox operator.

>>6921940
yeah, but that's part of the gag as well. Some people rent the game, get a legit one, but then call in that they got a fake. Redbox then told me to go ahead and return it, and then they put in a photocopy and return it and it gets held until the operator comes and takes it out.

But the guy was right in that they'll start to notice if you do this more than a couple times. your account gets flagged. It's why they've changed it so most prepaid cards don't work now as that was a workaround that was just completely destroyed some inventory. But some still work somehow, something to do with the card number identifying it as a prepaid but some don't follow the standards on that.

>>6921630
>I refuse to deal with criminals

Than you refuse to deal with anyone, ever? Define "criminal". Everyone is a "criminal" to some degree. A traffic ticket for speeding is a crime, so is jaywalking or smoking weed in the privacy of your own home. Do you refuse to deal with those people because they are so-called criminals? Only a crippling autist would do such.

lol fag

Even in fucking Croatia the item is weight coded. You can scan something different but you must place it in a bag which has a scale underneath. If the weight isn't the same an alarm goes off.
In what kind of a shit country you live in ?

>>6922349
yes there is a scale you stupid faggot. its asking how many pounds of chicken did you buy and you say no machine these are banana pounds not chicken pounds

>>6922364
So what, you have to carry X kg of bananas and X kg of chicken and scan the bananas while only bagging the chicken ? I could see that working if there is nobody working on the self checkout aisle.

>>6922370
no you just put what youre buying on the scale and the machine asks you what it is. if youre not a pussy you will lie to the machine and say its something cheaper per pound than what it actually is

>>6922370
how fucking stupid are you

you buy an x amount of chicken, go to the scale and say you bought an x amount of bananas

>>6922376
>>6922377
>The machine asks what it is.
Wait, wait, wait.
So you're saying you don't SCAN the item, you click what you bought ?
Pic related.

>>6922393
the way barcodes work is the lines store a string of numbers. scanning it can only lead to one price, so if they want to charge something by the pound there is no point in scanning it. You put it on the scale and then use the computer to tell it what it is.

if they dont charge by the pound and every banana just costs 25 cents regardless of size, then you scan the code. the delis have a scale where you can weigh it there and it will print out a barcode specific to the weight you bought to prevent you from being able to steal like this usually

>>6906314
Here's a fun tip for all your winter bulking needs: Golden Corral does $5/lb takeout, however it gets slashed to $2/lb 30 minutes before closing. Golden Corral also has chopped pecans in their icecream topping section. Enjoy your mountain of nutmeat for like 5 bucks.

>>6922401
I understand it now. It is like that for fruits and vegetables here but not meat or deli.
If you buy meat in a supermarket the guy that cut it for you and wrapped it puts the barcode on the wrapper.

>>6913384
Enjoy your nigger AIDS and other shit from eating unwashed fruit.

>>6917957
I doubt anyone could prove that you didn't simply make a mistake entering the code wrong or something, the worst that can happen is you either pay the full price or don't get the item. The store must be pretty much retarded to go to court with such a thing, you could then claim to be harassed for your race or beliefs or some shit and they'd have to pay you. Unless you're literally marking everything as the cheapest stuff and not actually shoplifting nothing will actually happen.

>>6920762

Fucking America

>>6922401
Wal-Mart frequently have barcodes on weighed items to speed up transactions. You put the items on the scale then scan a single one.

I've only shoplifted once while I was in college. I had to print an essay. I couldn't afford ink. I had to steal printer ink.

It hurts man. I wish I could go back and give myself money to buy the printer ink.

Yes, this is about to be a story about a friend of a friend, but it's my favorite story that my friend tells everytime pokemon tcg is brought up.

His high school friends (he's from a diff state than I am, we only met through military) used to play the pokemon tcg sometimes, but they lived in literal bumfuck nowhere and had no extra money. One of them decided to try shoplifting a single pack of cards, and he got caught on the first attempt. He had to spend the night in jail.

i just think it's funny as fuck that someone would go to jail for stealing pokemon cards

>>6932810

>this is a story I just made up

>>6932819
>"No one has ever been arrested for shoplifting! Clearly the meme-crab-man is lying about a stupid high-schooler getting caught."

There's skepticism, and then there's s/ck/epticism.

>>6906481
i worked as a cashier for like 5 years. trust me when i say that the machines are just THAT shitty. my store had four of them and the fucking things broke down ALL the fucking time.
>>6906340
nobody gives a shit about self service. as long as you dont try to fuck with every item you buy you can absolutely go with "oh i must have misentered the code". just dont go over board and you can get some 60$ for like 3 bucks. also if you do get caught, make sure its while a young person is working the checkout because teenagers just dont give a fuck and wont report you.
