[Rhetoric: Heroic 15] Convince the clerk you don't know what fruits are
EVEN 58%
+1 You look terribly frazzled
This is a Red Check. It can not be retried
Rhetoric: [Heroic: Success] "Is this not a banana?" You say in the most genuine tone you can muster
Savior Faire: You may have been caught, but you managed to feign enough innocence to get trouble off your backThe clerk gives a dumbfounded expression
Clerk: "Uhm, no sir, that is an avocado, not a banana"
Half-Light: She is too terrified of your empty skull to properly correct you on thisEncyclopedia: It is in fact *not* a banana. A banana is an elongated, edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called "plantains", distinguishing them from dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow upward in clusters near the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible seedless (parthenocarp) bananas come from two wild species – Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, and Musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata × M. balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution. The old scientific name for this hybrid, Musa sapientum, is no longer used.

You ever buy the cheap wine, pull off the barcode and bring it back to the store, then buy the fancy expensive stuff with the cheap barcode over the top. They never notice, wine bottles all look the same to them.
Just scan a banana as an avacado right after. So they are both on your receipt.
I'm surprised we haven't gotten "don't do this they keep track with cameras until they can charge you with a felony" guy in here yet
So has that ever been debunked? I'm curious how such a system would work but it sounds like fearmongering.
The technology exists. It isn't that difficult to implement facial tracking on security cameras and maintain a file on shoplifters. Even across multiple stores.
I can't answer your question, but it is certainly plausible.
Hmm that is scary. I guess face recognition isn't the only factor either. The way you walk is also quite unique apparently. Like the angle of your feet, how high they go, step size etc
Hmm. Not that I'd risk shoplifting or anything but it's interesting what companies do against it.
Geee, I wonder what would happen if they paid someone to run your products through and then give you a total at the end so that you may pay....
How are billionaires that fuckjng stupid? Oh yeah. They can afford to be.
I accidentally bought a bag of avocados for the price of 1 avocado at self checkout. I couldn't find the bag of avocados in the menu so I just selected avocado in the menu.
It turns out the bag of avocados come with a barcode to scan it 🤦
If I'm working as a checkout clerk, then I need to be paid minimum wage. My minimum shift is also the mandated three hours.
