Avocados on the house

Mistakes happen when untrained people are employed to do work.

The fact that things like this never occur to me as possibilities goes to show just how naive I am about how the world works

Clerk: "Um, sir, that doesn't look like a banana. Are you sure you entered the right code?"

• The jig is up. Run

• Apologize profusely

• [Rhetoric: Heroic 15] Convince the clerk you don't know what fruits are

EVEN 58%

+1 You look terribly frazzled

This is a Red Check. It can not be retried

Rhetoric: [Heroic: Success] "Is this not a banana?" You say in the most genuine tone you can muster

Savior Faire: You may have been caught, but you managed to feign enough innocence to get trouble off your back

The clerk gives a dumbfounded expression

Clerk: "Uhm, no sir, that is an avocado, not a banana"

Half-Light: She is too terrified of your empty skull to properly correct you on this

look I'm all for sticking it to the Man and stealing if you're actually starving but a lot of you people are just Petty thieves

You ever buy the cheap wine, pull off the barcode and bring it back to the store, then buy the fancy expensive stuff with the cheap barcode over the top. They never notice, wine bottles all look the same to them.

It's strange how the disproportionality of wealth makes theft seem ok.

Don't feel bad, you earned it. Imagine how it's cheaper for companies to pay god knows how much on anti-theft measures instead of paying a living wage to cashiers.

ps. You should never use self checkout. We've all been tricked into thinking we can do it better/faster ourselves.

the fuckers have cameras and "AI" detection here, if it looks and sees something it doesn't think is a banana the whole thing stops and signals a staff over. doing groceries is seriously more fucked than going through airport security now.

fuck Woolworths and coles

Yeah you definitely shouldn't ring up pine nuts as de-shelled sunflower seeds, or use the scan-one add-three to your bag technique at self-checkout 👀

Just scan a banana as an avacado right after. So they are both on your receipt.

The ones from NCR use the camera-based 7879/7895 scales with computer vision to check that you aren't doing this. It'll take a picture and require an override where it shows that picture to the attendant.

It's called produce assurance.

I accidentally bought a bag of avocados for the price of 1 avocado at self checkout. I couldn't find the bag of avocados in the menu so I just selected avocado in the menu.

It turns out the bag of avocados come with a barcode to scan it 🤦

I'm surprised we haven't gotten "don't do this they keep track with cameras until they can charge you with a felony" guy in here yet

There are different types of bread? Oh there is organic and cheap?

Wow sorry but if they outsource even the low income jobs they are so evil they dont deserve anything but that

Geee, I wonder what would happen if they paid someone to run your products through and then give you a total at the end so that you may pay....

How are billionaires that fuckjng stupid? Oh yeah. They can afford to be.

My buddy used to do that with steaks. He'd scan it as pork but it's was steak inside the package. Good times!

If I'm working as a checkout clerk, then I need to be paid minimum wage. My minimum shift is also the mandated three hours.

Tech quickie

Next year we cry about living in a “food desert”

You do know how much water is wasted to produce avocados, right? 💧
