No but I avoid the self checkout lanes because it is too time consuming when I can't find a code or the machine gets confused. I think if regular checkout weren't an option I might get tempted just to avoid then hassle of waiting when there is a problem. Or just rounding or adding a substitute item and calling it a day.

Sometimes I don't pay for bags. But I pay for all my food properly.

Admittedly, I did this a couple of times in grad school. I paid for the apples or oranges, but if a different kind were on sale, I'd punch in the cheaper code.

I don't do that now at all, and definitely don't outright not pay for something. Paying sale price for Pink Lady, instead of regular price for Gala, is the closest I've ever come to stealing in my life. Not proud of it, but... it's relatively minor.

It would never occur to me.

Occasionally I pay for 2 plastic bags (Montgomery County), then realize as I'm bagging that it would work better with 3 and just go ahead and take it without paying, because it's too much hassle for 5 cents. So, technically, yes? Never with actual merchandise or food, though.

I don't.

I don't shop lift ever. Never wanted to, although I'm black and have been wrongly accused of it and followed around stores by racist employees.

No but I have been sorely tempted to not ring something up when an item that is supposed to be on sale doesn't ring up as on sale and I don't want the hassle of flagging down a store employee to straighten it all out.

I actually feel a bigger sense of responsibility at the self checkout. For example, if I'm using a cashier and the cashier makes a mistake, I may not say anything. But at the self checkout, I do my absolute best to get it right.

No way. If anyone is going to get caught, it will be me!
