Comment on Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them
Breezy@lemmy.world 11 months agoNo no no, people definitely steal and pay at the same time. I was guilty or doing so when i was younger and more stupid. Older self checkout wear so easy to scam by tag swapping or only scanning some of my items and not others.

You were going to steal in the first place. This doesn’t change anything. Ethically ambiguous people “stealing” by purchasing something at a slightly lower price doesn’t equate to a company therefore making it so I have to use weighted systems. It’s part of the cost of doing business. Odds are good they still broke even after profit margin. Im not going to argue any of that, but it doesn’t matter. I shouldn’t have to put my stuff as I’m scanning on a scale. Either trust me to ring it up correctly or put the proper amount of people on checkout.
