Self-Checkout Exploit Hi /g/ long time lurker and programmer

I like to get a bulk bag of skittles, then ring in the peanuts code, weigh it, save like $10

Never thought of that, will try thanks anon

Just steal you faggot

>>58327088
This is the long-con

>>58327088
Where's the fun in that?

>>58326927
See
>>58327074

hand it back mohammed

>>58327104
you don't know what "long con" means

>>58327173
You're right its not the long con. But really is what I'm doing wrong? I'm paying for it after all

>>58326793
Maybe because they ran POSReady on those

>>58327236
>>58327173
And really its not like these fuckhuge companies arnt making a ton of money off of us anyway through markup, I see it as taking back what is deservedly ours. Stolen by corporate conglomerates

For another lifehack try just taking the items out of the store without paying at all!

Wow your life just got hacked

what do I do if one of the workers is standing behind me and asks me if I need any help while im trying to get free shit

>>58327236
paying an arbitrary amount that's not agreed upon by the seller is just theft. i can't tell if you're making this point as a joke or if you actually think this will be some kind of legal defense.

if it's the latter, you would honestly be more likely to get away with theft if you just walk out with the product in your hand and, if caught, just pretend you completely forgot to pay.

if you're being sarcastic, 4chan isn't a good place for it, because there are people here who earnestly more stupid than this, so recognizing that you're being sarcastic is basically impossible

>>58327267
Honestly they won't, I've done it many times, do it quickly enough and don't look sketchy and they wont bother you, they don't get payed enough to care

I highly recommend not doing this, I was a former retail slave who actually was somewhat friendly with the loss prevention guy so I got to talk to him often - they can and WILL find you

the thing is, they wait until you pull your little trick off at least 3 times so that they can actually get you in more serious trouble

and I'm not just bullshitting >>58326927 someone did this exact same thing with bananas, weighing random items

not worth it

>>58327272
That point was quite obviously sarcasm, see my below answer for my actual reasoning. And I understand its illegal and know the risks, however I rely on workers not being payed enough to give a shit

Anyone in NewZealand know any tips and tricks with self checkout machine exploits? Will try just for the lulz

>>58327252
Lost

>>58327299
If this is true how do they do it? I pay cash every time. If this is true I will stop

>>58327299
Also I don't regular the shop (obviously)

>>58327348
obviously not your mom usually buys the groceries

was this at walmart that you did this?

>>58327330
>how do they do it?

If they aren't walking around the store, then they are sitting watching the cameras. It is always one or the other. Even if you pay in cash they also are watching what goes through each register on screens in that back room, monitoring for discrepancies

So while it would be easier for them to catch you if you payed with a card (they maintain logs for a few months), they will see that someone went through either an unusual amount of bananas (large weight), or the same person is buying bananas too often

They have cameras and people nearby these things. A red light will go off and someone will 'assist' you.

>>58327299
Hello corporate shill, skittles guy here.

You're bullshitting. No one is watching cameras and making sure I'm really placing a bag of peanuts on the scale when I punch in a skittles code.

I've even been caught red handed pulling off the little scam and just kind of laughed nervously "I'm really broke" and the lady said "I understand but it helps our system know how to restock the proper item so when you do that it messes with our inventory".

She didn't give a shit.

>>58327383
Britbong, sainsburys like it says in the post

>>58326793
Here's another pro tip,
Just don't scan the item if you're gonna steal it you sperg

>>58327413
This

>>58326793

meh, just case your local grocery store, do something that gets the self checkout attendant to come over and use their login and pay attention to how they get in (typically tapping the upper right corner of the screen), and the pin number they use.

I had the login for a few in my area but was too chickenshit to actually use it.

>mfw I used to work in home depot loss prevention and catch faggots like all of you every day

kek

keep it up poorfags

you'll eventually get caught, and at the very least, banned from coming back

>>58327480
>mfw I did this and got caught, then I got diagnosed with kleptomania and am on disability

Thanks for the tax dollars, wage slave.

>>58327480
And at the most, banned from coming back

>>58327546

my taxes pay for far worse

enjoy your shit life, ya bum

>>58327395
>or the same person is buying bananas too often
Bring a monkey with you. Problem solved.

>>58327549

haha nah son. I personally was responsible for at least 4 individuals getting misdemeanors (I followed up on the case myself which is all public info online)

even tho misdemeanors are nothing, they are just a pain in the ass, so I guess its a good deterrent

>>58327443
>>58327413
I hate to have to do this, but, are you both fucking retarded?

This is something I saw with my own eyes - I saw multiple people get cuffed or escorted out of the store (depending on the severity), they WILL catch you. I don't know how I can make it any clearer.

Here are some of the things we've had at our store, every one of them failed
>switching clothing tags, putting less expensive ones on higher priced items
>outright walking out of the store with a cart (lol, good luck)
>hiding items inside of other items (guy put an iPad inside of a diaper box, cops responded immediately as he had hit other stores)
>nigger just outright stealing items and leaving packaging on shelves (they waited until 3 times so that they could arrest him. he actually went to jail)
>lady thinks she is genius like OP, ringing everything up as bananas. they waited until she did this to the point of reaching several hundred worth of merchandise taken this way

do I need to go on? I hate those faceless corporations as much as you do, but you're out of your damn mind to think that this is smart. If you really want to get back at them, shop on ebay where you are both cutting out the retail middleman costs, and not supporting chain stores or amazon

Already knew that. This only works with discount only items and even then its not consistent. I could be wrong ,but i think the reason it works is because when item is discounted the new label is printed out by handheld label printer thing and not preprinted labels they normally use.

>>58327609
I don't want to get back at them, I just want free skittles. And I will continue to get them. Because I'm not just going in there with a single bag. I do my grocery shopping and then I get the desert for free. They don't give a fuck and they won't ever catch me. I've done it about 80 times. Smh.

Enjoy going to prison and getting anally raped.

>>58327714
>going to prison for petty theft
Yeah, because that totally happens.

>>58327609
>ordered a large cooking pot from walmart
>go to the back to pick it up
>walk out the front with nobody inspecting it or anything
Was it because they didn't see me stop and look at anything else or what?

>>58327609
i use to steal a lot when I was younger

everything I stole was in plain sight

just holding stuff in my hand or in a bag or I would steal a few things and buy one thing

never even bothered with self checkout because people think customers can steal

the shopping cart one is easy, packed walmart and just have an old receipt to show the greeter

I think one time someone noticed I had a mars bar or something in my hand with a friend who just paid. played it off cool

>>58327750
It becomes a felony when the total amount you've stolen passes $200, shit for brains.

>>58327771
>getting a felony == prison time

>>58327609
All of these people are dumb niggers. If you're going to steal you either do one big hit once (don't give them weeks of cctv to profile you) or hit the same place multiple times with small value items. Never drive your car to the store, they'll follow you on camera and use your plates to ID you.

DESU I've done quite a bit of research regarding the prevalence of STD's in prison, and it seems in general people with the bigger nasties are kept separate from the rest. I'm not much bothered by a casual case of chlamydia but HIV is huge so It's nice to know I'm probably safe from that. I've had many dreams where I commit some sort of half-assed crime like stealing a car or robbing a bank then get incarcerated so that my pasty white beta sex-starved ass can get ravaged by hardened, violent, probably dark skinned criminals.

I'd look back at their tattoo'd, muscled abdomen repeatedly coming full-stop as his hips slam into me, causing my butt-fat to ripple in response. I imagine him coming down from behind to roughly twist my head to the side by my hair so he can kiss me and send me a clear message that I am his alone.

It's just too bad I couldn't do that to my family/friends, so I'm not going to be a huge faggot like OP and break the law for a fucking skittle.

ITT: people fucking over their own communities by acting like a nigger.

>>58327904
Store employees still get paid the same wage whether you steal or not.

>>58327250
dude weed lmao fight the man

>>58327932
Stop trying to justify it. Theft is exclusively a nigger-tier act.

>>58327413

You know supermarkets aren't really at all standardized on how to handle shit from some carefully calculated policy that comes from high paid bureaucrats

it all depends on the people who work there and what they happen feel like

I've worked retail/fastfood. Sometimes I see people stealing and I feel like fucking with them and sometimes I don't.

>>58328011
I'm not trying to justify anything, I'm just pointing out that the people who work there remain unaffected. In fact, he's providing a job for the man that does loss prevention

Ok shut the fuck up for a second you turbonumales, I swear if you don't stop being such dragon dildo riding princesses I will go straight to your basements, slit your throats with my 2 kunais, and when your mother comes with the tendies and bananas with funny faces drawn in them I will also slit her in her slit and fuck her through her belly button, I will then proceed to kill your dog and eat it fried while listening to satanic prayers in your home audio system

Retail drone here. We get "loss prevention" meetings once in a while where they show how shoplifting on self checkouts is done and what we can do. Yes, they watch the shit out of store cameras. They watermark the most used methods and anything that stands out as clever or hard to notice. We get panicked emails from district managers all the time.

>but the point is even if they know how the exploit works they can't fix it because they're stupid.

Let me give you an example. Where I work our self checkouts have a flaw that if you run out of paper at the end of an order it will apply the paid cash to the next order too. So a customer buys shit & pays with a $100 bill at the right time, the machine shits itself and they can buy a package of fucking ramen and it thinks you just paid with another $100 bill and spits out 99.75 in change for free. You'd think this is a big deal, instead they set the machine to blink when there's 1/3 of the roll of paper left because they literally can't understand how or why the paper sensor is linked to the cash paid variable.

They are also set to raise an alarm and reject any item from the deli that is sold by weight & costs less than $2. They think you're cheating them by only buying one of their overpriced and bad tasting potato wedges or just enough lunchmeat to give to a toddler.

>>58328253
Don't forget to shit your pants :^)

>>58327250
You need to shop at Costco then. They don't really bother with markup on a lot of stuff.

At minimum 25% of the cost of everything is to compensate for theft and returns. It only goes up because the jews play on the niggers and push that number ever higher. You know what the base markup is on produce & dairy? 39%. That's because you assholes sample grapes without paying, bruise fruit that now nobody wants to buy, mix cheap apples and expensive apples to save a little money, leave perishables on shelves outside of a refrigerator, put watermelons on eggs and just generally be fuckwits. Society suffers for your faggotry. You didn't seriously expect them not to. The next time you buy $100 in shit, remember 1/3 of that cost is because you're a dirty nigger.

I can't do this in Poland. Motherfuckers watch the self-check out registers like hawks and I don't think I saw a staff login button anywhere.

Even if the self-checkout registers have a flaw, you will be noticed since in this country EVERYONE is treated as a potential thief.

>>58330486
who cares about society when I save $$$

>>58330681
Truly, a niggers train of thought.

>>58330486

Bullshit. I used to work as a grocery manager at a national chain. We called any theft, expiration, or other loss "shrink." On any grocery item we can expect 2% shrink, anything higher and it gets sent to loss prevention for an investigation. Produce items have alot of shrink, but that's because we throw out alot of it whenever it's blemished or is approaching its expiration date.

Theft is costly, but it's not a big driver of costs. Our highest shrink items were health and beauty products, which average 10-12%.

tl;dr you're an idiot who has no idea what he's talking about

>>58330486

ITT: SHITHEADS who are risking a fucking arrest record and misdemeanor theft (or a felony if they steal too much) over fucking GROCERIES!

if anyone here is considering doing this, you're moterfucking retarded and should just kys and save yourself agony of going through courts and being unemployable till you die.

If you're gonna steal shit, steal big or go home. Find a way to steal $100k or $1mil. You know, the money worth going to prison over if you're caught.

Literally stealing peanuts, like another shithead in this thread suggested, is beyond stupid.

I know one of my Walmarts has cameras right at the self checkout along with two or three employees watching. Surprisingly they only have cameras at registers and at the front door, unless there are some new type of hidden camera that no one has ever found and uploaded a picture online.

At Winco I've typed in the wrong item code, a more expensive item, and the machine locked up requesting a worker. There must be some detection.

>>58327932
>Store employees still get paid the same wage whether you steal or not.

Sure, but it causes the price of goods to go up.
You think that these corporations will take the losses out of their pocket naive little goyim?

>>58327451
>>58330231
Use coupons and they have to come over. But I know Walmart usually punch in three or four different numbers, they're used to it too so they do it pretty fast.

The real long con is abusing Walmart's Saving Catcher. Albertsons usually has those Buy 5 Save $5, like Heinz ketchup for $0.77 if you buy five. Buy one item at Walmart for whatever price they have it then they'll match the difference. This is even better if you have coupons and have a gift card.

I know stores like Albertsons and Krogers/Ralphs are unionized so there is a reason why their items are overpriced.

To be fair, if you're starving, I can understand stealing food. Even then, there are other resources that can help you out.

But yeah, I never understood people risking years in prison or even their life for $100 or so at a convenience store.

You somewhere east of Poland or in South America?

I don't know how other machines work around the world but here in my 3rd world country's Tesco theyre pretty much exploitable. It weighs your items therefore you can buy the most expensive bakery products for the same price as the cheapest bread if they weigh the same. Also there's like one old lady assisting and no security cams around. I've saved fuckton of money so far.

Print out other products bar code and stick them on similarly weighted items.
Works good

>>58326793
Too much efforts bro..dont know where you at but they have staff watchin like fuckin hawks round by me,I find if its busy you can skin one miss one,done it liads of times on a lunchtime or if my son wants a stupidly overpriced small toy..you hide the barcide with hand and immitate the scanning motion,so much activity goin on no one notices, as for the bagging error if something is niticed that hasnt been scanned you leave item till last and bag it,call over staff and they just clear screen..there not gonna start checkun ya stuff..more than their jobs worth.

upper tier manager in college here, the reason they want you to report shrink greater than 2% is because their calculations are off. THEY calculate shrink much higher than 2% and what YOU understand as shrink is simply deviation from their calculations.

That doesn't work when the exits have alarms that go off if you try to walk out with an unscanned item.

>>58341649
That's why you add Faraday cages to your jackets

Over the course of a year, weigh all the items you normally buy. Extract a list off the items that weigh the same +-5%. Sort the results by the highest price difference. Go to the store, buy one of the expensive item and one of the weight matched cheaper items. Hold the expensive item and the cheap item up to the scanner, making sure the cheap item has the barcode towards the scanner. Scan the cheap item and put the expensive item on the scale. Scan the other cheap item by turning it so the barcode face the scanner and put it on the scale. Easy and descreet. And gives you plausible deniability. If you need both items, you just saved some money.

Just buy stuff, guys.
