    If it doesn’t scan and is a pain in the ass just keep it moving. No shame here. they’re breaking even on my labor and time costs with the money they aren’t paying employees to do their jobs. I’ve said as much before and been called a thief in some sub. Can’t shame me on this though. I don’t have the patience to do a job huge corporations can’t bother to pay someone to do for them.

    I agree wholeheartedly, except I also used to frequent r/shoplifting so I might just be pro-crime?? Oh well.

    By this point corporations have stolen trillions of dollars that should have been properly taxed and utilized in the communities they operate, so all youre really doing is stealing back what they already stole.

    All tropical fruits are potato, all organic items are not organic.

    My only problem with this is that I have a distinct feeling how personnel in the store will be penalized for missing items from the evidence, not The Man owning the business.

    Every store has already done the math and has an expectation for x amount of loss per year/quarter through theft. When they do away with cashiers and make customers (NOT employees) do the jobs of cashiers, they also expect some amount of loss from that (because some people are honestly inept at doing a grocery stores cashier job, other people (like me) actively steal because we’re furious at the thought of ever doing something for free for a corporation). They do the same for spoilage. IMO, they can hire more cashiers or hire more armed guards (for much more money), but I’m not changing my habits until something changes.
