Express lane violators

[jim]

Our grocery store has so many express lanes, most of them are the checker-free lanes where you have to do it yourself. They have them double stacked at our place. In other words you have one line and then two checkout places back to back. I love those things because they only have one person who oversees that - you know hitting the 21 button for liquor, helping out people having problems etc.. It's simple as pie to just pretend to scan something and get it for free. I usually just do bread, can goods etc... but once I did an entire 12 pack.

Oh man, the self-checkouts are so amazing. There is never, ever a line for them. Every time I go to the grocery store or Wal-Mart I'm able to instantaneously check out because those are always available.

Exactly. And you get half of your [expletive] for free.

Don't know how your self scan lines work jim but you can't get your stuff free here. If you don't scan something, you have to hide it on your person. The bagging area is weighted (is that a word?) and if you try to bag something that wasn't scanned the computer/register locks up and voice tells you to remove the last item from the bag and scan it.

I've seen those types. I don't like those types. Ours are just repurposed checkout lanes. The only thing you weigh is fruit. The other stuff just pretend scan it and toss it down there on the little roller things and bag it later.

I even got to refuse to sell alchohol to a drunk dude who smelled like piss, yea, he threatened to kick my ass, but he could barely walk, so when I told him the cops were just outside he believed me and shut up and stumbled away.

If I'd known you were lying I wouldn't have left.

jim is a dirty shoplifter.

I'm not a shoplifter. Shoplifting is when you put the free stuff in your coat or your pants. I put it in a shopping bag.
