Let me preface this by saying I despise self-service checkout lines. First, while it’s a shizzitty job, there is some dope-addicted mother of 12 that needs the income. Second, by using such a checkout line, you are working part-time, unpaid, at the store. But anyway, the checkouts are good if you’re a thief. I’m not a thief, but there are several shoplifting eggs on this site, so this is here in the interest of "increasing awareness."
W you check out, the machine orders you to scan one item at a time, bag the item, and repeat until finished. Ths is because it is covertly weighing every item as you bag them. The actual weights are stored in a database, and are compared with the weights of the items you are bagging. If there’s too much discrepancy, the system shuts down. Often, some Cadillac-drivin welfare mama will attempt to buy something huge, like a bicycle or a sleeping bag, which can’t possibly fit on the scale, locking the system down.
However, the scale isn’t sensitive enough for small items. For instance, two packages of 10 Sensor razor cartridges weigh about the same as one package, so scan one, and bag 2. Better yet, grab about half a dozen greeting cards, and stuff them inside the pages of a notebook. Scan and bag the notebook with the cards hidden inside. You may have to buy multiple notebooks, hich can be returned later. If you have coupons, you can scan them, then stuff expired coupons, or just shredded bits of newspapers, in the slot when the machine asks for your coupons. Happy shopping! |
