Am I the only one wo gets to the self checkout and is compeed to finish as soon as humanly possible?

Imagine if there was a speedrun timer on them and a leaderboard

Would make boring everyday life a little more interesting

    I won’t get into the minutiae of grocery theft… but that’s not necessarily a great idea. It may prevent LP from catching on initially, but when they do, you may be in a world of hurt… While accidentally missing scans can never be proven as malicious, especially if your goal is to move as fast as possible.

      I feel like such a dork hearing about everyone doing this stuff, because then there’s me who actively pressed the help button cause it wouldn’t let me register a second pastry (the first one counted for both because they were in the same bag)

      I live in a rural area and there are only two supermarkets I can get to easily so I’d much rather not risk getting caught out and banned and just pay the usually pound or so I would’ve saved by doing this

        You won’t get banned for missing a few things, unless they catch you hiding barcodes or swapping prices. Which isn’t worth the extra effort usually anyway.

        Although if there independent grocers, I would feel shitty. The saying is if it’s a chain, it’s fair game.
