A lot of chumps seem to think you can just hide poo poo in a cart, making a wall of 12/18/24 pack cans of soda/beer and in the middle a bunch of meat with a layer of dog food on top and just walk out like no one is going to even notice. Sometimes they do get away with it because the front is too busy/distracted and they don't notice that guy walking out between the kids and the old people. But that is hardly a scam, thats just straight up taking a shot at it. Slightly more subtle scams are at the self-checkouts and customer-service desks, a few at the cashier as well, with things like people trying to abuse coupons(either in conjuction with other stackable discounts of some type)to get carts full of free or might-as-well-be for pennies stuff by doing multiple transactions over and over until a manager on duty has to shut it down. Some folks will find/take the plastic bags either from outside, old purchases, or just off the rack, walk to something expensive, pick it up, take it to custom service in the bag, say they just want to exchange it for something similar because reasons, and walk out with the 'exchanged' one, which often works because just wanting to exchange lets you sometimes skip needing a receipt for the first, especially in stores in the more affluent neighborhoods since they far more lenient then stores near/in more poverty-dense locations. Slight-of-Hand stuff at the self-checkout is another method as mention. The scales are temperamental and you can often pack extra poo poo into the bags then ask innocently for an attendant to help you with the machine as it naturally(and correctly) notices more than estimated weight. Hell, sometimes people roll to the self checkout, scan a few items, and just don't bother with the big case of beer or soda or what have you left in their cart because it doesn't even get bagged anyway and roll the gently caress out there, or do the thing where they scan one, with multiple in their cart and return the extra for cash like Book_of_Harry mentioned. Some people try the stash and switch method where there are two or three people in the store or waiting to drive off in a car. Someone grabs something nice and expensive. Meat packs, or those expensive tiny coffee squeeze bottle things, or Tide jank, stashing it somewhere on a isle or somewhere the other picks up, pockets and leaves with, usually with the 3rd person in line getting something trivial.
