[quote=Anonymous]Nope, and I've even gone back in twice when items were on the bottom of the cart and not rung up.  Once I forgot to ring up water during self checkout and the other time the cashier forgot to ring up a bag of charcoal that was underneath.

I feel lucky to be able to afford to purchase the items I need and want and can't image being in a position to not be able to do that.

At my job, I work with people who have to scam the system to survive and unapologetically share their strategies and tips with each other.  I've heard entering a cheaper produce code to afford a bigger variety of fruits and veggies, holding a candy bar on the bottom of a box of crackers/cereal to scan the cheap candy instead of the expensive item, taping the bar code for an inexpensive item over the bar code of an expensive item like diapers.  And I think most elaborate I heard was a lady who would bring the name brand products to the self checkout, scan them, use coupons for the name brand, and then actually bag twice the amount of the store brand.  For example, Del Monte green beans cost $1.49 and she had a 0.50 coupon for them.  It would ring up as 0.99.  She'd then bag two of the store brand green beans that only cost $0.50 a can to being with, therefore essentially stealing 0.01 from the store.  I think that method takes far too much time and effort and seems too risky.
