At a self-checkout, if you're entering in the produce code for the usda organic version of something because you actually are buying the organic version, then you're doing it wrong. save money, enter the nonorganic 4 digit code version. you know you want to

I once entered 1 batch of mint when I took 2. Deliberately. Because the time before the mint I bought went bad faster than normal.

In  you have to have someone come over and verify your ID if you buy booze or otherwise age-restricted stuff. Beyond that yeah maybe you have one bored teenager 'supervising' 8 stations. Once I forgot to scan 64$ worth of beer in the bottom of my cart and I felt real bad about it afterwards.

Listen. The best self checkout code is oats. Everything you are buying is oats by weight. If someone questions it, sorry I don't have the codes memorized.

Waltzing Along posted:The whole point is to get rid of employees. The fewer employees, the more profit. It's hosed. Don't use self-checkout if you want to support the workers. Or something. Capitalism sucks. "Don't use trains, the people caring for horses will lose their jobs." Maybe we can just take care of the workers instead of being luddites?

Self checkouts are great. Now instead of telling the cashier "It's not scanning? I guess it's free!" I just take my free item.

I realize you guys are joking, but the number of people that think they've discovered some "hack" with self checkouts to pay less boggles my mind. It's just theft.

And theft is cool so these hacks rule. The reason why they have very few cash self service checkouts though is so they can easily keep a record of who is stealing a lot of poo poo and when they finally decide you've stolen enough they've got a real easy paper trail to follow to nail you for grand theft stuff so don't be too blatant (aka look white) about stealing stuff. Shopping while brown negates this though and you'll get accused of stealing stuff no matter what you did.

otoh it becomes predictable, like how Target won't do anything about shoplifting until they have evidence of you stealing enough to make it a felony. In my state that happens at $1,000 which means you are totally in the free and clear to steal up to $999 worth of things from Target.

Waffle! posted:UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA REMOVE THIS ITEM BEFORE CONTINUING Yeah, that's the main reason why I prefer to go to a cashier. One place I went to didn't even have dedicated cashiers, it had everyone doing stocking until the machine inevitably poo poo itself and called out for someone to help or someone went up to the cash and one of the employees were around to see it. It had a lot of mirrors and "we have anti-theft measures" around the self-checkout but seriously if you're that concerned about shoplifting maybe keep a human on staff to check people out? I prefer the one location that doesn't have self-checkout.

I've been going to the same QFC since 2002 and the worst it gets is a slight backup because some old hippy needs help weighing/scanning his jalapeños.
