Unexpected item in bagging area!

So? Don't put it in the weight-sensitive bag.

Btw only an autist would bother working as a cashier for free in order to avoid minimal human contact.

I want to try these but I'm too scared and awkward...

An attendant has been notified to assist you.

Why do these hoarding fucks do this? It just takes even fucking longer for them.

>>MGTOW detected

get fukked, cuck!

great meme, 5 stars

now fuck off forever

They still have door alarms lol that's no different than pocketing it.

3/10

Nothing.
I walked away with Wilton cake pans this way.

I've had a few drinks and this made my night. Thank you.

>only cute girls and grandmother's at the register at all lanes
>only thing in my basket are mountain dew and condoms because parents aren't home that weekend and gf is coming over
Self checkout at 16 and 17 in high school saved me from the horrible embarrassment that I honestly had no reason for feeling. Now I'm 19 and don't give a fuck if there's a grill and the register when I'm buying tendies and magnums.

whoa, McDonald's lets me take my own order and A&P let's me scan and bag my own groceries now
can't wait for the prices to drop because of saved labor, things keep getting better

>can't wait for the prices to drop because of saved labor
lol nice b8

>arguing about this shit when the reality of rfid purchase with your device will be a reality within 10 years

it's really easy to steal produce at the self checkout lane and i appreciated it when i was a brokeboi

>get in line at self check out behind a baby boomer
>at 50 something years old he is unable to perform a task that alcoholics and high school students do

Why do they bother?

you don't know he wasn't an alcoholic bro

Only boomer females are drunks

>I loooove white wine so much, no I don't have a problem I only drink two bottles a night!

>door alarms
>for food

How do you think the door alarms work? They have magnetic tags on items in stores that do that, they're not small. You'd have noticed the magnetic tags on your food items before if they were there.

I do that if there is no line

Also when I'm buying makeup because I don't want them to know I'm a cd

i actually did that the other day even though I was thoroughly braced for an esoterically humiliating checkout

>at walmart to buy like three things
>figure I'll hit up the $5 dvd bin
>cool i can get a bad anime movie and a weird seventies adult cartoon on the same DVD for $5
>throw Howl's Moving Castle into the basket for $15 because I have never seen it
>pick up a bunch of gluten free baking shit so i can try out some new bread stuff when I visit my celiac aunt and grandfather next month
>walk past asian section, hey i've been out of sriracha for about six months, also buy a tube of neon green wasabi paste to mix into sauces
>on my way to checkout, avocados are on sale ¢50/ea
>avocados, sriracha, wasabi, gluten free xyz, greek yogurt, anime DVDs and like 48 cans of tuna
>steal Howl's Movin Castle, wasabi, a candy bar and a bottle of vanilla extract

the self checkout was closer. Jeanae, Lupita or Betty-Kay would have given a single fuck what I was checking out with. but that was a sad haul of groceries for sure

I bought an 18 rack and a whole chicken the other day...bitch gave me the dumbest look,.

I said, "yeah,,all for me"

I split it........

>can't wait for the profit margin to rise because of saved labor

>Do you get your own food at restaurants?

I mean, I would if it was faster and more convenient than waiting on the waiter and cook, yes.

I laughed out loud at how dumb this post was.

>I'm curious, what stops you from stealing while using the self-checkout machine?
>I mean besides social obligations, the law etc.

There's a very easily circumvented system of weights - when you put your items on incoming side, they're weighed and after you put them on outgoing they're weighed again. If there's a discrepancy, you dun fucked up. If the incoming loses a pound and the outgoing gains a pound, but you didn't scan the pound of meat you just moved over (so you can get it for free) it notices and doesn't proceed until you've scanned it.

But I mean, these are trivially circumventable by e.g. just never putting a product on the incoming weight to start with. Then again, you could do that in a normal checkout line too, so it's not like this is LESS secure.

>steal
h-huh? I don't understand a-user

>can't wait for the prices to drop because of saved labor, things keep getting better

So buy from their cheaper competitor until they drop their prices.

Companies don't lower prices when they CAN, they lower when they want to capture market share.

I get this look all the time. I like to buy two of those hot rotisserie chickens at once, one to gobble for gains and the other for lunch meat for the week.

Theres always that one guy who goes "wow you must really like chicken."

Seems like you have a problem with authority

I'm not going to wait a light year between old ladies piling pennies to the counter just to give exact change just so I can pay for the single Milky Way and Red Bull.

Not being a nigger. Which is why those types of stores in high minority areas have someone check your receipt on the way out

High trust society is for whites and some Asians.

>Seems like you have a problem with authority

He has a problem not being a cunt is what he has.

You cannot purchase alcohol in the self-checkout aisle.

So, I can't use it as I buy booze every time I go shopping.

Ive had the guy at Walmart try and ask for my receipt for a 2 liter bottle of soda while a ham planet with a cart full of food went by without a hitch

Gave him my receipt, keep walking and he went "hold on!" and i told him to fuck himself as i walked out

They sent the patrol guy outside after me but I was able to get to my car before he could catch up

They had plainclothes following me around when I was shopping, still not sure what that was about.

>light year
>for measuring time

at how many mph do you cook your pasta?

you shouldn't have went to walmart while black, son.

I live walking from several supermarkets, four of which are from one of two big chains in this area. The one where black people shop implemented self check-out years ago while the one where black people have never shopped never had self-checkout. Why would the white people store refuse to put in self check-out but the every people store has it?
I've always thought it was odd.

Also, I did a study of this at university for a social psych course. Believe it or not, in America, white women are statistically more likely to shoplift than blacks of either sex.
IIRC, white teenage girls and Hispanic females of any post-pubescent age are most likely, followed by white adult women, then black or Hispanic teenage boys and black teenage girls, then blacks of either sex and above the age of majority, then white men, then Hispanic men. Asians of either gender and most ages are least likely to shoplift unless they're
a) teenage girls who associate heavily with white girls
b) teenage boys associated heavily with urban black and Hispanic cultures.

Junkies of all ages and races are most likely to shopfilt and being involved are associated with 'urban' culture increases likelihood that a person will shoplift considerably.

I remember finding no information for Arabs nor Asian-Indians.

The findings implied more that it's a matter of culture whether or not a person will shoplift. People into the materialism of pop culture and people of 'urban' culture are most likely, junkies excluded.

Laughed my ass off

>using light year to say a long time
y- you do know that a light year is a distance, r- right?

I think he scanned the DVD as something else, perhaps bananas? Not sure how that would work though

they have cashiers that see a readout of what you are scanning in real time at each station so they can match up what youve scanned with what they can see. so if they see you putting through 2 pounds of banannas on their screen but you are holding eye fillet at the station they know somethings up. at least in one of the supermarkets i go to.

never tried to cheat the stations so i cant say how likely you are to get caught if you try

Light year is not a unit of time measurement, Milky Bull.
