      They’re the most surveilled places in the store and now stores are looking into face recognition tech to effectively ban thieves from stores

      They might not care about small stuff, but repeatedly doing it will definitely put you on their radar

      honestly no, you’d hypothetically probably be better off putting something in your bag than risk being one of those times the machine asks a worker over to scan shit

        Lol, the cashier dgaf. They come over, input the code to canal the alert and go back to their chat, 90% of the time without even looking. The times they do look, they tell you what’s wrong and you fix it.

      It’s not stealing, it’s getting paid to do the cashiers job. Honestly I underpay myself every day i go to work at the self checkout.

        Why waste time in a queue? It’s quicker to self checkout and get back to my own thing.

        Self checkout hate is plain stupid, it’s for the customers who wanna get in an out quick.

          They are running lean enough many places that you actually wait in line to check yourself out. I have no problem checking myself out. Waiting in line to use a machine because they don’t have enough of them on the other hand… Literally some places run like one minder for 12 machines but they will have another 12 machines disabled because they don’t want to come off another minder.

          No, you are wrong. Places like Walmart will only have self checkout open, forcing you to ring up your own cart of items while their employees stare blankly at you … either that or you just make eye contact with them and walk away from the cart and leave the store (usually what I do).

          I don’t work for them.
