Anonymous Coward User ID: 77080281 Canada 07/28/2019 11:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.theatlantic.com (secure)] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75842561 Self-checkout theft has become so widespread that a whole lingo has sprung up to describe its tactics. Ringing up a T-bone ($13.99/lb) with a code for a cheap ($0.49/lb) variety of produce is “the banana trick.” If a can of Illy espresso leaves the conveyor belt without being scanned, that’s called “the pass around.” “The switcheroo” is more labor-intensive: Peel the sticker off something inexpensive and place it over the bar code of something pricey. Just make sure both items are about the same weight, to avoid triggering that pesky “unexpected item” alert in the bagging area. How common are self-scanning scams? If anonymous online questionnaires are any indication, very common. When Voucher Codes Pro, a company that offers coupons to internet shoppers, surveyed 2,634 people, nearly 20 percent admitted to having stolen at the self-checkout in the past. More than half of those people said they gamed the system because detection by store security was unlikely. A 2015 study of self-checkouts with handheld scanners, conducted by criminologists at the University of Leicester, also found evidence of widespread theft. After auditing 1 million self-checkout transactions over the course of a year, totaling $21 million in sales, they found that nearly $850,000 worth of goods left the store without being scanned and paid for. This rings up the price for legit paying customers such as my old mother, so not fair. Universe aid us in sorting this out, The OP Title for this thread is also a very negative outlook in general... Sad. Its unsustainable. Do they get covered for theft - pety level theft at the grocery store level? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31439398 United States 07/28/2019 11:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The reason not to do this is because the item will not get counted off the computerized inventory and will not get reordered automatically when stock is low. I suppose they eventually do a manual count, but think about it. This is a perfectly natural way of eliminating high-theft items from store inventory for good. The items that paying customers pay for will always being in stock, so the parasites/idiots (those who don't comprehend basic economics) will be naturally selected out. The big question is, when they do a manual count, what course of action will they take for items that haven't been eliminated from inventory by being scanned at the register? Do they eliminate those items from inventory altogether or do they get security tags on them? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77858465 United States 07/28/2019 11:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Walmart is building and deploying an AI based system to detect passarounds, and probably the peel and stick barcodes too. I have no idea how they will handle the detected ones, but that's a different problem. They already have facial recognition and do frame your facial photo when you're scanning. They can keep multiple camera shots for years and ban you from their stores if they choose to. They can also cancel the transaction and require that you go through a regular register with a cashier. No doubt that register would be manned by an LC person who would quickly recognize the peel and stick codes. |

Plus it's good to make the employees work for their paycheck. Self checkout is a step to take away people's jobs. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77227614 I don't buy beer from wallymart, and use the self-checks as little as possible. Sometimes you have to if the regular registers have lines with 1/2 hour wait times. Eventually you'll have to wait that long even to use a self-check. |
