  i was forced to wait (under pain of “loss of customer trust rating”) for ten minutes because they wanted to inspect and approve my purchase of a can of redbull because there was no one available with all staff busy.

  that amount of time, had i been clocked in at my job, would have entitled me to a quantity of pay greater than the price of the drink.

  If I accidentally put something in the bag before it scans, it catches it immediately, but if it double scans the barcode, it can’t tell it overcharged and the employee has to cancel it 🤔

    Funny enough at Aldi’s if I scan the same two items fast enough it won’t scan the second item probably for this purpose.

    It’s when they start scanning coupons that you don’t know about that they have the hots for you. Fifty cents off toothpaste? 😳🥵

      I guess we’re not that friendly.

  I’ve been in a Dollar General store before, that had 4 self checkouts, that were all out of order.

  There were 2 human run registers, but no humans to even be found.

  I hollered across the store “DOES ANYONE EVEN WORK IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER?!”

  Almost needless to say, an employee came to the register, but in hindsight, I probably should have just said fuckit and walked out with the merchandise.

  I’ve never had a problem with the scanners, I use them every week.

  Then, just a few days, ago…

  I got something I don’t usually, it was supposed to be $24, but it rang up as $48. I was on the wrong hook, as it turned out. Anyway, I didn’t want it for $48, so the lady had to help me. She happened to be standing about five feet from me when it happened, and she saw it happen before I asked her. She was taking care of it on her little device.

  Thing is, when I noticed it scanned incorrectly, I accidentally put the coffee I was holding in my other hand in the bag without scanning it and without thinking.

  So, as soon as she canceled the sale for the thing, another error pops up, which flustered me again, and I kid you not, I did the same damn thing, I put ANOTHER item in the bag without scanning it and without thinking about it or noticing. Like the fucking idiot I am. While I was apologizing for the first unscanned item ANOTHER error appeared.

  She was very kind, dealing with the village idiot.

  LPT never pick up anything except the single thing you’re scanning.

  So many times I’ve had to wait on the cashier to clear me because I was holding a second item in my off hand and it thought I was pulling a fast one

    Yeah the trick is to put your reusable bags in the trolley, with a second reusable bag inside them. Put your groceries in the inner bag, and the items you’re going to steal in the outer bag between the layers of bag as you shop.

    Then when you get to the self checkout, you unload the inner bags onto the checkout, scan as normal, move your trolley to the other side with all the unscanned items hidden between bag layers, pay, load the inner bags with the paid groceries. They’ll never even see the stuff between bags after you’ve unloaded for scanning, and if they look into the bags it still looks empty.

    … Or so I’ve been told

  Me causing it with kombucha instead of beer for a change

  • jaybone@lemmy.zip ⁨16⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

    lol do they still card for kombucha? I wonder how much of that you would have to drink in order to get the equivalent of the buzz you get from half of a bud light?

    I don’t think it’s humanly possible.
