I picked up a 6-pack tonight and headed for the self-checkout line, remembering someone on SA said "gently caress people who buy beer and go to self checkout, you know you have to wait for someone to check your ID and make everyone wait" I decided to go to the regular checkout instead. Unfortunately when the trainee scanned my beer she said she had to call a manager over for the key, that set off the libertarian alarm behind me.

:clint: Jeez, they gotta treat everyone like a criminal nowadays, get the manager over here to inspect you and everything.

:blush: Actually sir I'm in training right now and-

:clint: The cops might as well have your scanners to just scan IDs and print out tickets and free speech my rights 2nd ammendment.

Then the manager comes over.

:hb: Hello sir-

:clint: So you have to come over here every time someone buys beer or wine? Because I'm not buying wine here ever again.

so while the manager is trying to settle him down the cashier smiles and hands me my bag then waves as I say goodbye and head out the door, looking back I can see the dude flipping out even more and then I remember:

:fsmug: I didn't even pay for these beers.

This seems like a good scam until you realize to pull it off you would have to stand near a Libertarian.

the worst part was he kept looking at me while he was talking like trying to get me to agree with what he was saying, I was just trying to pretend he wasn't there

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

nice but I doubt associating enough with a libertarian to get them to agree to that would be worth it, they'd be blabbing about Bitcoins the whole way there and back for one thing probably

I hope the manager wasn't too tough when he brought the hammer down on the trainee cashier whose register was several dollars short at the end of the night.

You should go back and look for that cashier and explain what happened and offer to tell the manager & pay. Then nobody has lost anything and you just made some girls day and maybe saved her job. That might make you feel a little better and be a much cooler ending to the story than just FYGM. I mean unless you're a libertarian too I guess.

she wasnt short, the order never completed so she probably voided that order or had a supervisor do it and no one was ever the wiser

slippage is normal, no cashier ever got fired for being a six pack short. on a $1000 till it's normal to be over or under by $10

My mate has a good scam. He goes to the counter with a six pack of beer, offers it to the chick to scan with just the barcode on a single can rather than the barcode on the plastic stuff holding the six pack together. Most of the time he ends up just paying for a single can of beer instead of the whole six pack. Pretty pro
