    Not everyday but every time I go shopping

    Enter in cheaper fruits/vegetables at the self checkout if someone is watching and you can’t shoplift

    Cosmic crisp apples at 3.50 a pound? I’ll just pretend they’re shitty 1.50 a pound apples instead (:

      Self checkout just confuses me so much, I’m prone to mistakes. If only there was a trained/paid employee to do it for me

        As far as I’m concerned I should be paid for checking my own stuff out

        I’ll just take it off the total

        Good thought but it has a tiny flaw called “Human mistake”. This flaw is the reason why my wife always reads checkout bills right after leaving cash register.

        • I’d say they average one mistake per $150 in my experience. Double scanning stuff happens. They don’t seem to be trained in which fruits and vegetables are which, so they can easily hit the wrong thing and charge you double.

      At my Lidl they put the cheap pink salmon cans on the same shelf intermixed with the more expensive red salmon, so if you just grab a few without looking closely you’ll accidentally get some of the expensive ones. So scan the cheap one repeatedly while putting the others in the bag.
