  1. Absolutely understand it. Theyre more expensive than Whole Foods now.
  2. May 12th is definitely not the day to steal from them.

They are likely to have increased protection that day

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No I mean let's start tonight haha.

Wonder why I read it as if you were speaking like Staghorn Leghorn

@[email protected] is a nice guy(/girl/whatever) but about as sharp as a sack of wet mice.

(You were replying to [email protected], not at lemmy.world, though both are me)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

You’re not wrong.

Though I feel like Lemmy makes it more difficult than it should be

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Exactly.

Edit: Although, to be honest they probably are working on increased security now.

I'll have to Iook into shoplifting tips then. I'm a simple woman, I'd be happy if I could top up my teabag stash, some bread yeast and flour, some nice morning granola, and a good sized bottle of olive oil and roasted red peppers.

JNCOs ot only fashionable, also helps with liberating greedily priced groceries.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Hell yeah you can fit like $500 worth of groceries in the 50-inch convicts or mammoths.... get the dark color ones though the light color jeans will show off more pocket stuff

Here's a tip:

The carts have false alarms a lot, so if it's empty, it usually just gets unlocked with no check. Empty cart as a diversion because you decided "against buying anything"

Technically true

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Is that if the cart has one of those locks on it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yep, those same ones

Another tip: It's only one of the front ones. You can step on the bottom to lift it onto its back wheels and just hoof it before anybody can get to you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ok my store actually doesn't use those ones, so win. They also have never had security that I see.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. I work at one

Corporate seems to think they pay us enough to want to bother to stop people

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

My SO worked at one for years. He could not care less. Sometimes when it was obvious someone was returning a case of formula they had just stolen (like it was January and the case was not cold from being in a car outdoors) they would roll their eyes, but they'd still do it. What can you do?

There was this hilarious cashier once at a store I used to go to, who had some movement disorder that made her act like the Chicken Lady from Kids In The Hall. As a result she couldn't be bothered to memorize produce codes for scanning, and if she didn't know what something was, she would just toss it in your bag without ringing it up. I got a lot of free lychees that way.

The trick is to do it on the 11th
