You want to make sure you're roasting your spuds in the right one though...

And at the right point in the supply chain.

That would explain whey he swapped goose grease for lube - something to do with VAT.

It does seem like a decent AI video analysis might fix this.

You scan a carrot and then put a box of doughnuts on the tray it should prompt for a person to manually check (could be done remotely).

I don't know why they insist on the member of staff having to come to you to approve stuff most of this could be done by someone doing it remotely.

It could also be done by a member of staff on a till.

Be true but its a pretty obvious scam and it seems everyone is at it that must be costing a few quid.

That would involve spending money.

They just stick security tags on wine, steak and razors.

It is quite a common scam that people weigh an expensive item on the self-service tills instead of scanning the barcode and select a cheap root vegetable.

Fillet potatoes and sirloin carrots. Delish.

The usual scam is to scan for cheap donuts, claiming you didn't realise because you hadn't had to buy Kripsy Kremes before.

It's almost like ordering a pizza and a teenage girl turns up....

How is this even a story? And how did anyone even find out?

Because sale of carrots was going through the roof

Has Celeb Shoplifter Richard Madeley made any comment on self-service checkouts?

Update to the story:-


He's been sacked.

Apparently, his claim was unbelivable.

Oh good, they normally keep bent cops on until it becomes so ridiculous the most of the public start ridiculing them.

Whilst i agree the supermarkets abuse their customers (and staff) with self checkout this is clearly fraudulent activity.
