    Unethical Life Tip: Find a nice expensive steak in the supermarket and go to the fruit section and weigh it as the cheap apples; pop the ticket barcode over the steaks barcode. When you go to the self service checkout scan the steak and pop it on the scale. The steak weight will match the barcode scan weight and it will look like you scanned the item to the security camera.

    Consider the saving as your payment for doing the supermarkets job for them…

    Alternatively do the first steps and pop the steak back in the fridge to pass on the saving to another customer.

      That’s probably more of an illegal one. But also buy organic and then select the non organic version on the checkout screen.

      I recently went through self checkout at Lowe’s and the guy watching all 8 checkouts saw me struggling to put a bag of soil onto the scale. He told me I didn’t have to do that, they turned the scale function off.

      It was my fourth bag so I was kinda pissed, but apparently they can just disable the scale.

      They now have computer vision scanners that check things being scanned now. Still have to get around them.

    Bought a garbage can, but apparently the lid was sold separate? How was I supposed to know, I’m trying to focus on my sudden cashier job that gave me zero training… mistakes are bound to happen. Convenient mistakes, but mistakes nonetheless
