In the self checkout I watched a man with his children have his card rejected, so he just walked out with the food.

The security guards came up to ask me if I knew what way the man went.

I pointed up in the air to the security camera dome and said, "he sort of went that way, boys."

Massive store near me remodeled about two years ago with a focus on tons of new self checkouts.

Recently, all have been closed.

Surprised that so much walked out the doors via self checkouts that it’s cheaper to pay employees and take whatever aggregate losses there might be from higher wait times!

That is to say, the man with his children apparently wasn’t the only one.

UBI now!

Costco appears to have even abandoned it, and for reference, the customers not only pay to be there but on average has a household income over $70k.

The frog boiling point might not be here yet, but when is it? When people making over a hundred k are willing to risk it all to steal?
