    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.

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

    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....

    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.
