How honest are you with self-checkout?

I just carry my stuff out in a hand basket and pay for zero bags.

And people wonder why prices go up in certain areas and certain demographics more than others.

One day, you should learn about the economic correlation between CEO pay and item pricing versus the correlation between loss by theft and overall profit. If you have any dignity, you will return here, admit your ignorance and arrogance, and apologize.

That is doubtful, so, carry this with you; you are a booger eating moron if you think the reason a loaf of wheat bread costs $6 today, rather than $1.99 in 2015, is because of shoplifting. By all means continue to spout this nonsense while speaking with people. It makes it easy to know who to ignore.

Think of me as the guy that told you your fly was down. Learn from this.

HAHAHAHAHA YOU lecturing PP on integrity is my favorite joke of the day. You also completely didn't get what he/she was talking about. I would explain it to you, but I want you get get caught and arrested due to lack of morals and sheer ignorance.

Did you fail 1st grade math? It's really not hard.

You used two, therefore you pay for two. If you don't want to pay for two 1) learn how to pack better or 2) bring a resuable bag.

I wondered where all the hand baskets at my Safeway went.

Yeah, you have to scan otherwise it's stealing.

A few times I did not scan something I had accidentally left in the cart (a knob of ginger or a head of garlic). Usually realized when I'm loading up the car in the parking lot.

I did not go back inside and pay for it but I suppose I should have if I was more honest.

Well, turns out he was right. Now that AI is coming for all of us, I see the light. Self-checkout was the warning shot, destroyed jobs, enriched corporations, and left us all with a MUCH worse human experience.

I knew this was going to happen and it did. I don't use self-check out because why would I work for them for free? But my partner does because its "quicker" well that's what they want to you to do, feeding right into it. I bring my bags as well. I think it's insane these days that you have to check yourself out, pay for your own bags, anything else you can take away from me? It's messed up that everyone was on board with this and now look what we have to deal with if people stood up years ago about this chit, refused to do free labor and pay for bags things would not look as bleak as they do now. Jobs were lost all the while the corporations are making a killing, CEO's making more money, now increasing prices much higher than inflation just because they can. Everyone accepted this. And now there is little to no customer service, ZERO customer service, almost no helpful employees ANYWHERE and AI that not only is nonsensical in most cases I've experienced but doesn't help at all and leads me to sadness and anger about the current situation in the world. Just such a disappointing life experiences most times out and about shopping and using any services. We are seriously all being taken advantage of but most people aren't/weren't able to figure this out before its too late, like it is now.

I asked upthread how this was a question, but now I see I was wrong. Wow.

Some people prefer the model of DIY. Discount stores like Aldi were always like this. The problem is regular stores doing this and then still increasing their prices.

I like self-checkout for groceries because I’m faster than the checkers and most of them stopped bagging during covid. I’ve had interactions where they were offended if I bag, or won’t do anything. So, rather than piss people off I do it myself.

So you work for free? I don't but I don't steal either.

I 100% scan every item. I'm not a thief.

I scan every item. I'm not a poor person. I don't need to steal things. I can afford them. Stealing is for the poors.

Scan all and honest about bags. One time I forgot and I got the worker to help me add a bag on. There is something really wrong with society if stealing had become accepted.
