I’m talking specifically about the self checkout loophole that only came when they made self checkouts….?

Was that not obvious from responding to someone taking about that same thing?

The person you responded to does not mention self checkouts fyi

They are responding to a post specifically talking about self checkouts and the loophole that exists solely with them…

How does this need to be explained? Lmfao.

At the self checkout, the cost to return all the merchandise to the shelves costs money, to let them go through the the till is profit instead of a loss. This doesn’t exist in regular checkouts since you need to scan, at the self checkouts you don’t, so people try and abuse it.

I was literally taking what the person I responded to a little further and this tripped you guys up? Fucking hell this place is weird to have conversations on.

What's the loophole? You still have to scan your membership card in self checkout. Or is it using someone else?
