I am brutally honest. I scan everything.

I scan everything. But I only try 3 times. If it won't scan after 3 times, it's mine. I think that has happened twice over the years.

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.


That’s like reseeding your cotton by hand because of Eli Whitney and his damn cotton gin. AI would have arrived with or without self check.

I think there was one time I realized after the fact that some tiny item like a yogurt didn't scan. There have been a few times when a sale price on something didn't ring up, so I didn't lose any sleep over it.


We have plenty of evidence that shows that young people are clueless and lack the common sense to do simple tasks.

One time I forgot to scan about $80 worth of salmon that sat in the bottom of my cart under some flyers. Oops. I also never leave a grocery store hungry no matter how hungry I was when walking in.

The videos I have seen say that loss prevention will wait until you have stolen a certain amount over many visits to be able to prosecute you for a bigger crime. So if you think you are getting away with stealing, they might be watching and taking notes.

If you are intent on stealing small items from the store, it would be easier just to buy them and then complain about the quality and get a refund.


You cant return open things.

I’m scrupulous.

I’m AA and a teacher. I don’t want to be arrested over groceries.

Just stealing? Lots of illegal things are now totally acceptable.

I am very honest with Self Checkout. The other day I told it that it should not be an idiot and just use it’s camera and look and me and tell I was old enough to buy some flipping Benadryl.

I also pay for everything.

I scan everything. I use my own bags. However, I do use self-checkout with over 20 items, my record is 38 items. I only shop during slow times so there's always other registers, and no one has ever said anything to me.
