Yeah, I know. It's the first time I've done this. I had the pistachios in my cart, and I was gonna pay for them legit, and then I just suddenly... didn't want to.

And it was so easy.

Maybe today I'll go back and buy three pounds of white flour for the price of pistachios.

>> No.5769412

>>5769333
Who gives a fuck. Ring up ten pounds of pistachios for a pound of flour. Why should anyone care? The markup on most groceries is already stupid high. You're not the only one stealing. And free is free so long as you get away with it. That's my belief. Stealing is ok if you're willing to shoulder the risk.

>> No.5769415

I'll do it with apples sometimes- there's no stores around here with bulk bins. Get a bag of Honeycrisps, ring up as Red Delicious or something cheap. They just show up as "apples" on the register so nobody can really question it.

Don't do that. For several reasons. It can backfire and prices can increase. Someone in charge of this shit might lose their job when the numbers are off so much. You can get caught and depending on the person that catches you, you could be in deep shit and in jail for stealing or just told you messed it up and corrected.

Yeah, no.

No store in america can legally detain you for anything short of assault or murder. Especially not for attempting to steal some fucking nuts

They'd march your ass over to the register and say "Pay for it or get out" and that's it.

Not a grocery store, but I used to work for a major hardware store.

Our "asset protection manager" detained people on a regular basis, and kept both cuffs and a tazer on his person for detaining shoplifters.

The one I go to. You go to the are of the store. You weigh your shit. Then it prints off a barcode and you put that barcode on the bag and then take it through the registers.

What I do is I print two barcodes. As an example, say I want to buy almonds and charge myself for flour. I print off the almonds barcode and put it on the bag. I print the flour one and stick it on my finger. As I get to the self serve chekout I get the bag of almonds and pretend to scan it, but with the barcode facing away but holding it so the flour barcode on my finger scans. I dispose of the flour barcode.
I was once caught and acted genuinely confused. When I presented the bag of almonds with the correct sticker on it I said "I just d-dont understand".

The young girl thought it must have been some sort of error. I paid for the almonds and started hitting up a different store.

Yes it's a nigger thing to do and I'm not even poor. I just enjoy it.

Yeah this is the way to do it. One time I had to buy organic limes for guac cuz they were out of regular limes.

I just rang them up as regular, fuck I didn't even want organic limes so I didn't feel too bad about it.

>>5771949
Would love to be a fly on the wall for getting caught for some shit like this. Were they just doing a random check?

Pretty smart idea though.

I once rang up arborrio rice as printed the barcode as sushi rice, far cheaper. Even if someone were to check that I doubt they'd even notice let alone care when I feign indifference

Hell the one lady didn't even know what unshelled walnuts were when I had them in the regular checkout line

i'm kinda burnt out on my year of shoplifting like a fucking maniac from grocery stores, i probably got away with thousands of dollars worth of food, but i was a paranoid wreck. i was getting away with an unbelievable amount and i was so sure i was going to get nabbed when i least expected it.

i'll only do the bulk item switch with stuff that looks alike from a distance. like any green pepper with the significantly cheaper jalapeno. none of my stores have bulk nuts unfortunately, i love that shit.

Also I never pay for garlic and spices, sometimes I put my drink and sandwich on the one side of the self service checkout, scan the sandwich, put it in the bagging area, pay for it, then take my drink and sandwich and walk out, I actually got caught doing this once and I just feigned blanking out over what I was doing, scanned my drink and left.

Your post actually makes me wonder if there's a way to put a twist on the bulk bagged grain/nuts where you surround something expensive as fuck in a bag of something else.

Would survive more superficial scrutiny, but you'd be fucked if they caught the bag within the bag

>> No.5772298

>>5772296

fact is most employees manning the self checkout give a grand total of zero fucks. if they don't see it, it has nothing to do with them. and since they typically aren't required to audit anything but IDs for booze, they can always claim ignorance. but that's almost overthinking it--i'd say the double bagging shtick is too convoluted and would attract attention from wandering managers, or loss prevention if they're watching the cameras. so it's much easier just to get a bag of cashews and ring them up as peanuts.
