(To be fair, my local supermarket has scales and cameras to prevent most shenanigans… so I have to sneakily pocket small but expensive items while still walking around the store!)
Be careful with that. Some stores will let you walk out even if they notice, until they have enough evidence to nail you for more than just petty theft.

Ah you’re the cunts who increase the cost for the rest of us, thanks
the discount for me is time saved not waiting in line to have someone else do a job I can do myself
Do you also want the restaurant to pull out a seat and push you in? do you want the petrol station to pump your own petrol for you? do you want to go to the bank so they can transfer money for you? I cannot for the life of me understand why some people are so hung up on self checkouts
Self checkouts are great. When they work. When something goes wrong, I get to wait 10 minutes for a clerk who’s busy checking out items for other customers. They’re mostly fine for checkout with few items, though.
Thee what now? You must live in some magical non-Capitalist hellhole if you’re actually getting a discount for ringing yourself up!
They’re referring to what the legal system defines as “theft”
theft. i’m speaking of theft.
Shit, I can’t believe I whooshed that!

And you don’t have to stop for store employees.
That’s the thing - they don’t have the store employees stop you once you breach the $500 threshhold. They bring in a police officer to arrest you.

That’s some messed up thinking of you think THAT is where the increases come from.
