How honest are you with self-checkout?

I scan everything.

Of course I scan everything.

But if the cheap plastic Walmart bag tears when I’m lifting it into my cart and I have to double bag it, I’m marking 1 bag not 2.

I scan everything myself, bag everything myself and count all the bags.

Walmart self checkout is the worst though, so many employees hovering around monitoring self-checkout that they might as well just be running regular checkout lanes. And the one thing I will not do is stand in a line at the exit door after I’ve completed self checkout to have some Walmart employee double check my receipt and bags like I’m at Costco.

Regular checkout: one time as I was nearing my car, I realized that the checker had not scanned the four seltzer water six packs on the bottom of my cart. I did not go back in.

NP and I did this myself with self checkout and a similar amount of Diet Coke - I forgot it was there and didn’t scan it, then I noticed it in the bottom of my cart when I got to my car. I also did not go back in. Other than that I always scan everything.

I love self checkout and am completely honest. Or mostly honest—if there’s a mistake it’s a genuine mistake, like I didn’t which onion I go—small or large? I don’t know, it looks medium to me.

Be honest. Are you scanning all the groceries/items? This includes being honest on the number of bags you are using.

Absolutely. I would feel like a total loser otherwise.

Unless the store is giving me a minimum of a 10% discount for doing their job, I refuse to use self checkout.

Me too. I think most people decline it.

Wtf, every time. Once I forgot to scan an item at target. Put it in my car to take back when I realized ( had to run to pick up kid from school) but next time I was there I just walked in and put it on a random shelf bc didn’t want to deal with customer service.

I hate self checkout. I only do it if I have to and yes I scan it all.

I scan everything and pay for the bags I use. WTF is this even a question.

I scan everything. I also avoid using bags as much as possible. Usually I will have a reusable bag or two, but if not I will use a store bag only for small items. I have a couple of heavy duty cardboard boxes in my vehicle I put purchases in when I take the cart to the vehicle. I'm just not tempted to take stuff without paying. However, when a checker rang up a head of radicchio as red cabbage for a fourth the price, I kept my mouth shut.

I had bought a package of orange sticks (manicure sticks) at Walmart on a trip. For no reason that makes sense to me, Walmart had security clips on the orange sticks (but not on other small manicure items in the same section). Ended up in a long customer service line to get that sucker removed before I could leave the store.

I certainly try to scan everything and I’m honest about the number of bags I take. A couple months ago, I found a small item hidden under my bagged items when I was unloading my groceries from the shopping cart into my car, and I realized I hadn’t scanned it. I went back into the store and paid for it. I like being an honest person. I wasn’t worried about being arrested or burning in hell for being a thief; I just like the feeling of doing the right thing and having a clean conscience.

Scrupulously honest. I've taken items back inside after discovering they here hidden in the cart.

It's theft not to, plain and simple.
