I was at Target the other day grocery shopping and noticed they were having a 60-70% clearance sale on all the winter clothes. Cool, I thought, I'll grab two of these $6 long-sleeves and two pairs of $8 pants, what a steal. Go to self-checkout because I only had like a handful of other things. Scan everything but the clothes without issue. Go to scan the clothes and it freaks the fuck out - just refuses to scan them, no error, no 'hey do this', just beeps and doesn't do anything. "Hm." I think, already ready to just checkout and pretend I scanned them.
White woman with two kids sees me looking puzzled at the tags/screen (i literally tried scanning each piece of clothing individually - all did the same thing) and goes "oh did you grab those from the clearance area?? they won't scan because they're marked down, you need to flag someone over"
At that revelation, I was already like "oh right, I've encountered this before -- what I should do is just put them in my bag and walk out since clearly they've have already written this specific inventory out of their system" but the white mom was watching me as she slowly scanned in her full grocery cart so I sighed and waved the employee - who had been watching the entire time like :shrug-outta-hecks: - over. She scans her badge, enters her code, and goes "how much are they??" when the 'add product price' menu pops up.
"Four dollars each" I said. She nods, cause she isn't paid enough to care, and types it in & makes the quantity 4. It wasn't $0.00 like it should've been, but I'll take the four articles of clothing for $12 instead of $28.
How much is target losing to shit like this though, one has to wonder, because this literally happens everytime I do self-check out with clearance shit
