Sorry sir, the self checkout is closed since we're short staffed. They can get you on register 19 at the other end of the store.Can I get some help here??

Put a bag on the surface where you place your scanned items because you want to bag the scanned stuff right away and the robot yells "Unexpected Item" so that everyone looks at you like you are robbing the vault. At least they let me grab a bag now without having to ask the warden for one.But people will swap things in boxes, and I have no doubt they double tap a cheap item and swap in a heavier thing. I doubt the weight sensors on these things are smart enough.
Yeah, the line conveniently starts at the frozen seafood section.Sorry sir, the self checkout is closed since we're short staffed. They can get you on register 19 at the other end of the store.
The scale knows exactly what your item should weigh. My local grocery store, the cyber woman freaks if you put a bag on the bagging area.Self checkout is great for those that like to switch price tags.
My trick to bag without the robot screaming "Unexpected item" is to bag the first scanned item in midair and then placing the already bagged item on the bagging area surface. From then on its smooth sailing although the constant admonishments/instructions by the robot grate my nerves.The scale knows exactly what your item should weigh. My local grocery store, the cyber woman freaks if you put a bag on the bagging area. That fools the scale.
They also have a camera watching. Im sure to fly the bird at the camera at each visit and every time “she” accuses me of being dishonest.
The clerk comes over and reviews the recording……middle finger and all.
Of you don’t trust me, open a register and pay a human to scan my groceries.
My wife tases me if I screw that up.My trick to bag without the robot screaming "Unexpected item" is to bag the first scanned item in midair and then placing the already bagged item on the bagging area surface.

I want to make a shoestring budget crack but can't come up with anything that meets my already very low standard.The hardest part for me is if I buy an item which weighs very little, like a pair of shoelaces. If the scale doesn't detect it, it keeps reminding me to place it in the bag. I did already!
Reminds me of Costco checking your membership prior to using the self checkout (doesn’t the terminal do that), your receipt leaving the self checkout area (I assume to see if any fake scans or non scans took place), and the receipt again upon leaving the store. They don’t usually mess up like that…you see people in 2160p and they paid electronically, it’s not very hard to mail people after the fact. Key being to thieving members. The above treats all like thieves imhoThat's an ironic situation.
I see this all over the net, the used oil in new jugs thing, yet I've yet to see a picture of it.They do, but those devices usually just help keep the honest people in line. Theft is up all across the board. I mean I've seen quite a few instances at walmart where jugs of oil on the shelf had used oil in them, and filters were in the wrong box intentionally as an example. It's pretty easy to buy 4 muffins and then do the item look-up on the machine and enter 1 if nobody is looking.
I got nabbed on a 12 pack of soda about 5 years ago at 2AM. I had 2, used the little scan gun and thought I scanned it twice. The fella was standing there with his little device that shows what I've rung up let me pay and start walking out before he says "hey man, you only rang up one Coke"I've been flagged at WalMart three times. When they run the video back I'ma innocent every time...

"That bum! He didnt bother to come out of that little shack to check my oil, squeegee the windshield, air up the tires, or ask if I wanted any cigarettes!". Starts 1977 Cordoba, revs the engine in protest, roars off angrily.....
I bought one of those little bottles of brake fluid at Walmart. When I got home, I opened it and found the foil seal had been opened already and some of the fluid was missing. Probably like 1/4 of the bottle, or even less. I bet someone got a "Low Brake Fluid" light on their dash, bought a bottle at Walmart to top off their reservoir, and returned the rest without even having to leave the parking lot.I see this all over the net, the used oil in new jugs thing, yet I've yet to see a picture of it.
Filters, yes. Pictures from here to Mozambique.
That's all well and good, but I recently read a story where someone stole over $10,000 worth of items, possibly tools, by switching tags/barcodes.The scale knows exactly what your item should weigh. My local grocery store, the cyber woman freaks if you put a bag on the bagging area.
