Exactly.

Edit: Although, to be honest they probably are working on increased security now.

I'll have to Iook into shoplifting tips then. I'm a simple woman, I'd be happy if I could top up my teabag stash, some bread yeast and flour, some nice morning granola, and a good sized bottle of olive oil and roasted red peppers.

JNCOs ot only fashionable, also helps with liberating greedily priced groceries.

Hell yeah you can fit like $500 worth of groceries in the 50-inch convicts or mammoths.... get the dark color ones though the light color jeans will show off more pocket stuff

Here's a tip:

The carts have false alarms a lot, so if it's empty, it usually just gets unlocked with no check. Empty cart as a diversion because you decided "against buying anything"

Technically true

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that if the cart has one of those locks on it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, those same ones

Another tip: It's only one of the front ones. You can step on the bottom to lift it onto its back wheels and just hoof it before anybody can get to you

Ok my store actually doesn't use those ones, so win. They also have never had security that I see.

Yeah. I work at one

Corporate seems to think they pay us enough to want to bother to stop people

My SO worked at one for years. He could not care less. Sometimes when it was obvious someone was returning a case of formula they had just stolen (like it was January and the case was not cold from being in a car outdoors) they would roll their eyes, but they'd still do it. What can you do?

There was this hilarious cashier once at a store I used to go to, who had some movement disorder that made her act like the Chicken Lady from Kids In The Hall. As a result she couldn't be bothered to memorize produce codes for scanning, and if she didn't know what something was, she would just toss it in your bag without ringing it up. I got a lot of free lychees that way.
