That's illegal. It isn't just theft. It is fraud and can carry a much larger fine and jail sentence added to your theft charges. The DA will probably add some more erroneous charges to that, but it'll be up to your lawyer to get those tossed out. so, get a good lawyer. Otherwise, you might have a $50,000 fine and 10 years in prison, with possibility of parole in 2 years or so.

It's really not that hard to use one and not fuck it up if you have an IQ of over 5. I use them all the time if I have under 10 items and it usually goes about 10 times faster then at the cashes because everybody is so afraid of the self checkouts.

Protip: One item at a time. Pick up item, scan item, bag item THEN pick up the next item, if you pick up two items at once that's what fucks with the weight sensors and makes it need cashier assistance, you stupid fucking idiots.

That is what every cashier does. They look at each and every item to asses your use of it and how it relates to all the other items you are purchasing. They are trained to do this since 9/11. If you pay them with a $100 bill, expect it to take longer than normal to process because they have to test to see if it is real or fake.

You can bypass the money pen by simply using a paper with no starch. A counterfeiter could simply make paper out of ground up newspapers and it would do the trick.

http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/business-career/legal/can-businesses-refuse-accept-cash?page=all

>Businesses Must Accept “Dollars,” but Not Cash

>This means that US notes and coins are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. However, although businesses must accept dollars, that doesn’t mean they literally have to take your big wad of bill,s which is bulky, difficult to make change for, and, frankly, a breeding ground for germs. A vendor can usually put reasonable conditions on the manner in which they will accept dollars, and one of those conditions can be that they’ll only accept dollars electronically, via credit card. Or, as the US Treasury explains on their website, “Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise.”

>So far, Legal Lad has yet to find a state law that mandates payment in cash. In fact, as we discussed in our earlier episodes, courts in a number of states have dismissed challenges to various no-cash policies. But Fred, if you can find a state that forbids no-cash policies, then you can certainly try to get the airline to accept your cash -- of course, you’ll have to wait until the plane is flying over that particular state. On second thought, if you really have a hankering for rubber chicken, soggy sandwiches, and teeny-tiny bottles of chardonnay, play it safe and bring your plastic on-board.

Former c-store worker here. With American currency, you can almost always tell at a glance if a bill is real or fake. The embossed gold/green number in the corner has never successfully been counterfeited to my knowledge, nor has the textured jacket on bills between Jackson and Franklin. If still iffy, check the watermark - if all else fails, use a counterfeit detection pen.

But 9/10 times, you can test the authenticity of a bill in as much time as it takes to check the denomination.

Which is why my first plan is to check the embossed denomination in the lower right corner of the face of large bills. You can't fake that with bleach or oil.

Self checkout doesn't work if you're an idiot. It's also great for savings since you can put a whole bunch of items as a similar cheaper item. I put a 1kg bag as a 500g at half price.

Only if you put 5 items in you bag when you pay for one or none they will look you up or on the security cams. Otherwise no one checks.

don't know bout you, but all the stores around here that have them has someone sitting at a table in front of them who does inspections and doesn't buzz open the gate until he approves

What gate are you talking about? Not gates near the machines I use. Most of the time the machines are not watched or anyone is around unless you press the assistance button.

they have the machines penned into their own area here at walmart, walgreens, a local grocery and costco. Granted the barrier is only just about knee high. But there's a desk in front of 4 self checkouts with a screen that shows what everyone is scanning, and the assistance person stands there monitoring it. As you leave the checkout you have to walk by his stand and he either presses the button to unlock the little fence-gate type of thing or has you put your bags on his counter for inspection.

1 guy for inspection is cheaper than 4 cashiers, and keeps the theft/rip off rate down compared to no inspection.

>we get prescriptions free and student grants that we don't have to pay back.
how long before retards realize that things paid for by taxes are not free, you paid for them with taxes.
Instead of simply just buying the thing you want you instead had some politicans take the money from you whether you wanted those things or not, skim some off the top for their pensions and swimming pools, then buy the thing you are being taxed for.

HM Government has all sorts of stupid policies at the moment, but they're not socialist.

Quite a bit has been done to weaken workers' rights along with the burden of state control, which is pretty far from the aims of socialism. If anything what we have now is a bastardisation of liberalism and conservatism.

Every fucking time

I used to keep my car keys in my hand so when the cunt machine would bark that line I would scratch the fuck outta the screen. In the past the screens had a plastic covering that you could really gouge into, but now most modern self checkout screens have glass. While harder to deface it's still no match for a sharp key, at the Wal-mart closest to my house the third self checkout still has "fuck u" visible if you look at the screen from a slight angle.

I no longer use the self checkout at Wal-mart though, because the counter at the sporting goods department always has a person stationed there with no line. It rustles the fuck out of whoever is working there, but they have to ring shit up whether they like it or not. Anyways...

this.

I learned a long time ago to go in and out through the automotive department. Just park back there like I'm getting the car worked on. Hardly ever a line and if there is they're just paying for their car work. Yeah some dirty looks sometimes but close parking and no lines so fuck 'em.

I've seen worse
I saw a 10 dollar bill that looked smaller
Color was WAY off
Printed on printer paper
And looked like it's been dragged though dirt to make it look like it's been though circulation
the person was kind of smart about it to use a 10 dollar bill, since we never check those
But if it seems fake by the look and feel of it we check it then call the police
