That's A Lot To Go Through To Save A Few Dollars
-
The other day, we talked about why some stores are getting rid of self checkout lanes. Here's another reason, and a reason that stores that still have self checkout are adding security cameras: People are trying to get away with tricking the system in what they call "weight abuse," swiping one item that's cheap but placing another item that's more expensive in the bagging area, fooling the register into thinking that the latter is the former. Really, is this worth whatever savings the store gets from having fewer cashiers? (KSTP-TV/St. Paul-Minneapolis)
