Retailers in Europe, like Booths supermarkets, and the United States, like Walmart, are pulling back on having self-checkout in light of complaints and shoplifting.
I’m lucky enough to not need to take the risks involved in order to get by, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to fuck over someone that may be unluckier than me. Idgaf what it is, I’m fucking sergeant Schultz.
You’re helping make the case for retaining more checkout workers.
You’re keeping those minimum-wage checkout supervisors safe by not putting them in a position to intervene with desperate people trying to feed themselves.
You’re helping the store avoid wage theft by having you play unpaid, untrained, unqualified security guard.
You’re helping the needy feed themselves.
Give yourself a pat on the back, you local hero! 🫡
My grandmother snitch on some poor bastard stealing crystal light at walmart. If someones stealing fucking crystal light from walmart theyre clearly in way worse than I am.
I worked at a supermarket in a wealthy area for years - no one stole more than the wealthy old crones from the retirement village next around the corner.
The funny thing is she ain’t wealthy, ffs we live in the same house. She’s just got a really stupid and weirdly conservative and at the same time progressive sense of morality.
If I cared enough, I’d tell someone because I hate thieves, but I generally prefer to mind my own business. Same philosophy if I saw someone stealing from a small business.
If you’re concerned about theft, this is objectively correct - Walmart steal more through wage theft than shoplifters steal from them.
Similarly, in terms of harm done, stealing even a flatscreen TV has an imperceptible impact on the Walton family, while stealing wages from an employee that’s so underpaid, their wages need to be supplemented with publicly funded food stamps is crippling.
Remember kids, if you see someone shoplifting or switching the barcodes at your big-box self-checkout: No you didn’t.
Preach!

The way I see it, you’re doing a public service…
You’re creating jobs in loss prevention.

But the self-checkout cameras sure did.
Genuine mistake, I can’t be expected to do a job I wasn’t trained for. All those apples look the same to me
Everything is an apple for the untrained eye
Thats why you follow safe Covid Precautions. 😁👍

If you hate thieves, you should love shoplifters. The real thieves are at the top scheming more ways to fuck the poor.
Yes yes of course. Poor good. Rich bad. I get it.

Walmart and their ilk steal far more in wage theft than they lose to shoplifters.
“These companies don’t pay their employees enough, in my opinion, so I’m ok with people stealing from them.”
Just say what you mean.
