I'll do a big shop, look shocked at the line up and just walk out. Have fun dealing with my cart.

There's no way I'll get an app. I get they'll have methods to entice people but I held off getting Facebook when it was the big thing, I'll be ready for when corpos want to fuck around.

In fact I welcome it to see how I do.

    Trouble is, all you're doing by dumping a full trolley is inconveniencing someone who's paid minimum wage.

    I agree that's not good. What else would I do if I had todownload an app to checkout or have to navigate their self checking that's just a shit show all the time. If the store is being cheap, not properly hiring people and paying a good wage, that is not my responsibility and I'm not going to have to get some app so I can do my purchase and I'm absolutely not going to take my time to put the items back, and nor would the employees want that either.

    I have no responsibility to do free labor for profit hungry criminals.
