I swear it trips at complete random. I'll just be scanning my groceries and then all of a sudden "HELP IS ON THE WAY" and I have to stop what I'm doing to get a clerk to put in the unlock code. It happens every fucking time.

    I have never had this happen to me. I have shoplifted thousands of dollars in food. I have never purchased alcohol, though, so that may be why.

      I rarely buy alcohol. It still happens to me every fucking time.

            Pass two items over the scanner, miss the scanner, stuff something in your pocket or bag and "forget", basically just make any "mistake" you can make at self checkout, and don't fix it.

            I love to walk into the grocery store and pay 1/3 to 1/2 of the price of what I buy. Five finger discount fights inflation.
