i mean... alls soda cans weight the same.. why buy the expensive monsters wen you can pass a cheap one instead
How do you do that though.. you have to scan every barcode and if you get chosen for a random check the shop employee will scan all codes again and you face the risk of being reported to the police for shoplifting.
Or does the US have some different system?
I have, in the US, never seen a person "randomly selected" for a grocery rescan. I imagine the first store to try it would get sued for discrimination within short order. I have seen many kinds of shoplifting done multiple times though:
Some stores do a receipt check but they almost always just do a count and don't have time for detailed looks. Supposedly several US stores (Amazon-owned Whole Foods is notorious for it) will save up security footage of chronic shoplifters to wait until they've stolen enough to bring federal charges.
There are cameras all over self-checkout but it's easy enough to palm things or slip expensive items into your bags without it being obvious. Maybe with AI they can start scanning every video for signals but it seems to me that only the really bold and overt thieves get caught.
im not in the us.
Took me longer than I'm proud of to realise that 500g of pasta weighs the same as 500g of beef
