This is your daily reminder to steal anything you can from large corporations at every possible opportunity. Got five identical items? Whoops, you only seem to have scanned four of them. Are four of them the brand name, and one of them the cheaper store brand? Shit, it seems you scanned the store brand one ~~five~~ four times. They just looked so similar, after all. How confusing!

There's this old man who goes to my Walmart. On 3 separate trips, I've seen him standing snug against the candy aisle with both his arms in the shelves opening bags. I don't think he realizes how obvious he looks lol.

All the stories in this thread are ridiculous, not untrue, but very weird.

Product loss is a problem, and can threaten a store’s ability to operate, especially in disadvantaged communities where there aren’t many options for shopping. That said, what the fuck is everyone thinking? Why do people care about like one guy not scanning or accidentally taking one item, you’re wasting more resources dealing with it then if you just ignored it.

The actual solution? Exit gates that open when you scan your receipt, maybe combined with some system that weighs the whole order to make sure it makes sense. Completely automated, no shouting, easy to implement because the technology already exists on transit systems and many other things.

I don’t get why this is a problem, though I’ve never seen anything like this at any nearby grocery store.
