Recently started as a grocery person at a certain Amazon-owned store and was wondering if people here had any pro tips for inconspicuously slacking off, staving off boredom, corrupting fellow workers with Marxist thought , things to avoid, etc.

Customers will ask you to check if you have an item "in the back." Due to just-in-time logistics and strained supply chains, it's unlikely that you'll find much of anything. So just go to an employee-only area, check your phone for a couple minutes, go back and tell the customer something like "Sorry we're all out, we might get some more next Tuesday."
Hiding in the walk-in cooler (especially in the summer) is a time-honored tradition.
If you encounter an irate customer, hand them off to a manager ASAP. Don't let the bastards grind you down.
You'll hear the same dumb lines repeated by customers: "If it doesn't scan I guess it's free." It's your choice how sarcastic you want your response to be.
Stealing expired groceries rather than throwing them out is praxis.
the correct response to this is "it should be but my boss is cringe".
"It should be but unfortunately we still live under capitalism"
then if the customer gets pissy you should be legally allowed to shoot them
"It is! You just have to outrun security", while gesturing to the 80 year old greeter to quietly encourage stealing.
