Interesting Walmart experience today.....

Funny....there are no receipt checkers at my store. Also the scales on self-checkout aren't hooked up so you can load a bag and put it back in your cart and it keeps right on going.

I guess managers adjust their store policies according to how much theft and loss they experience at that particular location.

I was in a Walmart in Warner Robins a few weeks ago picking up some stuff for my dad. There was an error on the scale/random weight PLU lookups and everything I weighed rang up at 0.1 ounces. Apples that were supposed to be $1.99/lb were ringing up at 15¢ or so. The temptation to "load up" was almost overwhelming.

Yes but I try to avoid it. It works better to order online and do their curbside. Much faster that way.

Try that next time.

We did that with groceries during the height of Covid panic. Online shopped for weeks. Hated it. Crappy produce, dented cans. WallyWorld drones are not the most selective shoppers.

those of us who participated in the 1 cent ammo yesterday would've certainly loaded up. Followed quickly by a public shaming....

It's easy as hell. Download 3of9 Barcode font and install it. You can then select it as your font in a labeling app or Word doc or even an Excel spreadsheet (we used to do this for planogram creation many moons ago).

You simply need to find an item in the store that has similar weights, print the code on a label for the cheaper item, stick over the label on the expensive item of similar weight and scan away. Pro tip: Sort of lean over the scanner as you scan the item and quickly bag it so the overhead camera at that register won't see the image, just in case a human drone is watching you on video.

I think it's funny and a good idea to teach these companies a lesson but I don't plan on trying that. Sounds like stealing to me.

I'm sure it's chargeable as theft.

I didn't go back and load up but damn, the temptation was real.

always double bag drives em crazy.

You have to tell them, "Hey, I have a lot of trash at my house that I need to bag them up, OK!!!"

Wife and I went into a Walmart in PTC last weekend for the first time in years. Walked around and enjoyed the scenery of koolaid hair feminist, soft beta males and the 32 dialects being spoken thru out the store. Once upon a time PTC was a nice place, now it's becoming a 3rd world nation
