YES!, do it all the time, because I am a cheap loser that commits crimes and shoplifts (steals) negligible amounts of whatever doohickeys that will make zero impact on my finances, because my life is empty, and being naughty and sticking it to the man while giggling, reminds me of my younger years, sneaking a cigarette in the locker like a hard-core convict, bragging rights secure.

Looking forward to the day I get caught and perp walked. Talk about street cred yo!

Then, whenever the next J6 riot of Walmart shoppers happens, will get nothing but respect as a hardened criminal.

What a glorious day it will be, all that consolidated ignorance in one place, unified.

Re: have you ever cheated at the self checkout??
nope
I don't use SCO

and I've gone back to the store when they missed something
 Quoting: Naunet


I did that once in my "morally superior days". I'll never forget it. It was green peppers she rang up as jalapeños. I thought I was teaching my younger kids a great lesson by doing so...

Found out later they fired the checker...

Never again and I've hated Walmart to this day and try to never give them my business.
 Quoting: Bright Side


no one I know was ever canned for it

was at the store last week

had 10 jugs of cranberry/grape in the cart and handed her one to scan
8 jugs of another type
and
8 bottles of club soda

she thought I said I had 8 of everything

I always look at the receipt for both

missed / undercharged items
and overcharged wrong price items

I turned around and told her I have 10 of the one item and she only got 8 of them

it's not an issue either way

Re: have you ever cheated at the self checkout??
If you dont scan something, the scale will detect weight not paid for (they know how much it weighs too). They also have cameras over top of the checkout that specifically check for non-scanned items (cameras are run by an AI algorithm); Look up sometime at wallyworld checkouts.

Talking about thieving, how about STEALING AN ELECTION, Taking kickbacks from foreign aid packages.

Crime is what makes the world go around.
 Quoting: Dr-Know


I happen to know they have discontinued the "algorithm" method and have switched to direct observation. It used to be if the camera saw you put an item in the basket that wasn't registered as having been scanned, an alarm went off alerting "associates". The BIG problem is people purchase things in different departments that they then bring through the self checkout line to scan a few items they bought. When you dont scan the item (like a TV or a fishing rod), the machine accuses you of stealing, basically,

A machine cannot falsely accuse a human being and get away with it for long, people get pissed and make a big noise when it does and it was happening ALOT.

Two times I was directly accused of stealing in Walmart, and both times their own cameras proved my total innocence. They're not going to catch me when I actually do steal something because I am trying to avoid that.

A while back, I double scanned an item, didn't realize it at the time, caught it when I was going over the receipt a couple of days later.

Shops probably aren't bothered if you cheat a little because self scan is just a subtle onramp into RFID shopping which will be almost impossible to cheat.

I take it that you don't have employees, don't work for anyone and don't accept any public assistance. Is that right? Just curious, how do you maintain sustain your existence, financially ? Or do you participate in the thing that you hate ?
 Quoting: rccola

I have two employees and they share in the profits of my business equitably.

I pay them what they make for me and I take whats left over.

They HELP me get the job done but they enjoy the full benefits of their own labor. If they work harder, I pay them more, sometimes more than I can afford to. In your system I cannot help but notice that the harder a person actually works, the less he is compensated for it.

The CEO and the major "stockholders" get the billions, the guy on the production line gets the shaft, taxed and fee'd until he is broke off his ass and owned lock stock and barrel by "creditors". Meanwhile that corporation doesn't pay a dime in tax, because ti has bought off our government.

Fuck your system. If you want something work for it and save your money and buy it when YOU HAVE THE FUCKING MONEY.

Put them cocksuckers out of business. They rule you because you're greedy and want things you have not yet earned, and because you agree to rules that declare you the loser before the game even gets started.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81042018

By your own description, is it really your business or is it a cooperative. Do you actually have employees or do you have partners?
By definition of profit you are saying that your partners/contratcors keep everything that they earn. Do they file 1099 income tax returns.

Do you match their SS, Work comp, and unemployment?

Profit:a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something.
"pretax profits"
 Quoting: rccola

Id rather not go into the details, suffice it to say I play by the same rules Donald Trump does if that makes sense to you, the only difference is I am fair to those who depend on me to make a living and he is not.

My basic policy is to try to cost the government and globalist corporations as much as possible while giving them as little as possible in return
They are the enemy, and even their pockets have a bottom somewhere.

I saw some Karen at target the other week totally steal a bunch of crap through self check out. Her basket was full of stuff she obviously didn’t need, all big items, she scanned a couple of pillows, checked out, and stole the rest. The teenager target employee was too scared or didn’t care enough to say anything. She was staring Karen down though.

Re: have you ever cheated at the self checkout??
I wanted to buy a couple bags of dirt from the HEB grocery store 2 years ago. The dirt was outside on pallets. So I load 3 bags into a shopping cart, wheel them into the store, check out via a clerk, who looks up the price and I pay at the register.

Upon trying to leave the store, the cart snaps on some kind of brakes and the alarm goes off! Damn near flipped me on my ass.

Employee comes over and unlocks the cart and turns off the alarm.

I try to show him the receipt and he doesn't even want to look at it. Just kept apologizing. I asked why it did that. He said because the dirt was outside the computer got confused when I went past the scanner.

I'm not a celebrity.

I have prospered not because of capitalism, but in spite of it.

Take this example, if you will. Trumps last year in office he cooked up a scheme that would allow the globalist oil companies and banksters to suck up billions from people just like me. He got totgetehr with Putin and those Saudi buddies of his and plunged the price of a barrel of oil to negative territory, in other words we had TO PAY THE BIG OIL COMPANIES TO STEAL OUR OIL OR SHUT THE WELL.

HUNDREDS of businesses, fucked.
God knows hoe many made unemployed.

That is reality. SOme of my best friends who have worked int eh business for decades, RUINED, washed up, in four days.

And his fuckign Keystone pipeline would have driven a stake though our hearts and totally finished us off if he'd pulled off that globalist horseshit
