I was embarresed...

I assume this method would fail for the same reason the other did: the weight sensor would detect an unscanned or unknown item and would sound the alarm.

I know! If it's going to fail, go for a straight fail. Those sensors will detect SHOPPING BAGS, of course they'll detect double product. About the only thing I've known them to miss is the small fruit leather strips. (Sun Rype?).

the person ahead of us managed to get away with scanning a greeting card instead of the package of lobster tails until the UScan person noticed it ...

If I was starving, I might try scamming something like spices, rice and beans, and maybe hamburger or sausage, stuff that isn't as scamworthy as lobster

Good point, but I've gotten so used to hearing stories about even more blatant thieves getting their asses kissed by corporate that I couldnt help but be surprised that they told this one to get lost.

Maybe they've been scammed so often that it's finally starting to sink in that, hey, maybe, just maybe, the customer isn't always right.

One can hope...

I agree there . . .

That SC isn't sorry they did the deed . . . they're sorry they got caught.

Like pretty much every thief, scammer, cheater & swindler.

My TA course this week included a presentation on academic offenses by the undergrad associate dean for engineering. He gave a case study, and due to the timing of the appeals process finishing, he assigned the students to write a case study on cheating, including how to prevent similar problems in the future. The one student's "how to prevent these problems" was more "how to not get caught".
