I’m 100% against self checkout.

They’ve put the burden of sale on you instead of themselves. If you fail to check something out accidentally, you are liable for theft.

If they don’t have a cashier, I go to customer service and tell them to ring me up even if it’s one item.

Which is why I’m against making people do big orders through self checkout, cause thats when an accident can happen.

Not when you’re getting your genital itch cream.

A lot of the grocery stores near me have a limit of 15 or 20 items for self-checkout. Safeway says “about 15 items” which is strangely vague. Any more and you have to go through a regular checkout.

i would say even 10 items is to much for self checkout, but thats better than walmart expecting you to take a cartful of monthly groceries through self checkout.

NAL, but i believe that they have to show intent in order to prosecute. As long as the legal system works properly, they would have to prove that you’re lying when you say “I forgot that was down there”

I can’t imagine a judge taking a case where someone unwittingly stole something

I admire your faith in our legal system but despair at you lack of imagination.

They’ll prosecute a bag of money for potentially being involved in a crime.

Don’t need to get to a judge. They can just tresspass you and then you have to drive 30 miles to another supermarket cause you cant ever set foot in that one again.

Thats enough to fuck shit up for a lot of people.
