>indoor gates so you have to scan your receipt to open a plastic gate to exit
>>20175049
Is it called Triangle Shirtwaist Market?

>>20175049
employees create a higher liability on the books than self checkouts. spending all this money to get you to scan all your own shit means more prophets for them in the long run; the Machine™ has no sick leave, annual leave, long service leave, pay raises, insurance, training. Not to mention the Machine™ can't quit, won't ever be in a position to sue or slander or whistleblow.

Still blows my mind they don't have weight sensors, that should be the minimum thing that comes with the Machine™.

Any any case, welcome to dystopia anon, where the plastic gate at the supermarket kindly asks "paper please"

>>20175049
I hate those markets with gates at the doors, although most of the time in the US I see those at ethnic groceries (Latino, Asian, or middle eastern) which sucks because I really like to browse new stores but rarely buy anything the first trip.

>>20175049
Honestly it's hard to blame them. I worked with security for a grocery chain and in a few years they've gone from losing $100 a week in merch to like $500 a day. People routinely eat candy bars or hostess donuts and drink sodas in the store then 'hide' the wrapper or bottle. Tampons and diapers are routinely ripped right out of the bag.

Fuck the companies for giving smaller packaging and shittier products that cost less, but I can't blame stores for security measures.

And this is in a medium sized town in the midwest, not some coastal inner city.

>Still blows my mind they don't have weight sensors
the ones near me do

>>20175049
What kind of shithole do you people live in?
Be specific or you're full of shit.

>>20175053
like they put in a dog gate basically that's metal and there's a plastic gate in the center, its not a big supermarket so this is making everything even more crowded
plus somehow there's another dog gate that prevents you from accessing the cuck carts (small carts with 4 wheels) so I don't have to hold a heavy handbasket

this is just makes me want to steal more and more cuz they are so resentful towards their customers

this is mainly cuz black customers try to just walk out without paying for anything but still, fuck them the owners are making millions off of us and the groceries aren't cheap and they jacked the prices way up during covid

>>20175058
but now they have not only am employee to help with self checkout but a separate security employee (sometimes 2) to stand there at self checkout to ensure you don't steal shit

>Still blows my mind they don't have weight sensors
plz, don't let them know, it's the only benefit to this shitty ghetto grocery store

>where the plastic gate at the supermarket kindly asks "paper please"
yeah
its funny cuz the other day I was shopping and the receipt machine was just sitting with all this paper sticking out cuz nobody took their receipts with them

>>20175072
yeah i guess its also to discourage you from just browsing but not buying anything

ive never seen this before at a market I've been to actually

>>20175076
this is only making me want to steal more because of how shitty they treat me as a customer
if they hadn't jacked up prices as high as possible, people wouldn't steal as much, food is survival

>>20175079
american big city in a very racially mixed area

>>20175076
people wouldn't be stealing so much shit if the grocery chains weren't fucking gouging everybody and fixing prices. if you don't want to deal with crime, then take care of people so they don't feel driven to it.

>>20175100
Oh shut up I grew up in NYC Manhattan and that was never the thing. Stop making shit up.

>>20175100
I suspect that you've never been to a "big american" city. Cunts like you just like writing about them because you're scared, like eurotrash.

>>20175049

amen

>>20175433
>be venezuelan
>the toilet paper companies are price gouging
>set price controls and raise the minimum wage 4 times a year
>starve to death

what if you can't find the single item you came there for, or forgot your wallet?
you just stuck there?

>>20175454
You have to sheepishly ask a wagie to release you (or hop the fence)
Probably increases the number of people who buy a water or something just to not leave empty handed

>add three apples to a bag
>weigh it
>add price sticker
>put in another apple
this is Dutch culture and trying to prevent this is literal genocide

>>20175470
there's people watching you while you do it

>another poorfag thread
Something realistically has to be done at this point. Make a general and just start deleting the spam threads.

>>20175058
self-checkouts used to have weight sensors but the problem is they're really finicky and cause issues that require human intervention.

did it detect too much weight? HELP IS ON THE WAY.
did it detect too LITTLE weight? HELP IS ON THE WAY.
did it detect weight being added? say, because you brought your own bag? (city now requires 10 cents tax to be paid per bag in my city now. we also switched back to paper, single use plastic is banned) HELP IS ON THE WAY.
did it detect weight being REMOVED? because, say, you have more than 2-3 bags of items, which is all that will fit on the little scale platform? HELP IS ON THE WAY.

dont you have fire codes? choking exits is extremly dangerous and usually illegal

>>20175457
break the gate. its kiddnapping to slow my departure against my will.

K.

>>20175621
that's a good point but I doubt they care

>>20175634
They absolutley do care when the firemarshal comes for the annual inspection and revokes their occupancy license.

>>20175454
Call your lawyer and sue them for unlawful imprisonment.

>>20175076
>I worked with security for a grocery chain
I remember the security guard at the grocery chain I worked at.
Prototypical incel. Acne ridden faggot with a power complex. The one time I tried striking a conversation with the guy, he acted like I'd run off with his fingers if they weren't glued to his palms.
Eventually he accused me of stealing from the store. Never stuck because I never did anything wrong, but I still got written up for it anyway.

After I quit, I waited for a new person to take over the customer service and intentional point of purchasing expensive products just so I could break them and return them the next day. Turnover rate at the store was massive so it was about as easy as pissing in the shower. I think I did close to $2500 of damage before I got bored.

>>20175529
i think hes talking about the nice stores that let you weigh your produce and print a sticker for easy checkout later. i never ouright steal but i will use regular codes for organic if the regular stuff isnt available or looks like shit. not going to pay extra for their inventory management failures.

>>20175621
I'd be surprised if you can't just push the gates open or if there isn't an emergency button.
You don't need to lock people in for something like that, you just gotta set an alarm so that it brings attention to them if there isn't already a bigger emergency going on.

>>20175053
presumably the gate's flimsy enough that you can push through in an emergency
outside of one you would be identified as a thief though

>>20175091
>this is just makes me want to steal more
That's because you're a nigger.

This is thread of full of people who live in niggerville where everything flies off the shelves if they don't put it behind bars. Try to get a bottle of laundry detergent in the ghetto.

Markets have a 1-2% profit margin, thinner than most other industries, yet you poor ass niggers expect free food. Maybe you all should get a job and stop being a parasite.

>>20175049
>My grocery store just added indoor gates so you have to scan your receipt to open a plastic gate to exit
Sorry, I already paid
*casually hops gate*

>>20175049
Prices will continue to rise and quality, quantity, customer service and trust will continue to decline until CEOs and board members get Minecrafted

>>20176068
Rise in small amounts but then they lower in a small amount, it's pathetic what government types get away with with their black limozines.

>>20175049
I wonder what caused this.

>>20176127
Niggers

Amazing how this almost always correlates with the person being a low life criminal. Poorfags lol

The negrofication of america continues ahead of schedule

>>20176154
Biden / kamela and their cronies and henchmen has only gone to make their political coffers even bigger.

>>20175123
even if all items were at a fixed price of 10 cents people would still steal because being poor is not the only reason they do it, they love the thrill of stealing
theres people who arent poor at all and still shoplift because theyre addicted to the adrenaline rush
if you want less crime, move your business to some area without "minorities"

>>20176068
all is rising because theres too many people

>>20175049
how do you leave if you didn't buy anything?

>>20175049
I suspect you are lying because that would be a major fire hazard.

>>20176125
For most products/industries prices don't ever go back down, besides sales or loyalty programs. TVs and smartphones are the rare exception where over time quality goes up while prices go down. You can draw your own conclusions about why (((they))) have decided devices that dumb us down, pacify us, advertise to us and allow us to be spied on are the only exceptions to the trend of "rising price to go along with decreasing quality."

>>20175058
What fucking shithole supermarket do you go to where you don't have weight sensors. Pull your shit together faggot, mother of Christ.

>>20176133
Bicycles just happen to be cheap and a very healthy form of exercise. This is like saying basic necessities needed for life is indicative of low life criminality because they happen to need food and water too.

>>20176068
What a very violent person you are. I hope you get help at some point and then come to realize violence and revenge does not resolve anything.

>>20175049
The simple solution to that is give them an email or some notification and pick another store. Duh!

>>20177174
"Violence isn't the answer" is just gaslighting from the (((elites))). Stop behaving in predatory, shitty ways that make people want to justifiably kill you.

Gee I wonder

>>20175058
ur mum is "pay per please'

>>20177228
The people who claim violence isn't the answer are the same ones who would have a line of people stretching down the block to kick the shit out of them if there were suddenly no consequences for doing so.

>>20177160
Spotted the cyclist lmao

>>20175660
I did a legal consult for the "loss prevention" department. it was "security" not a security guard

>>20177174
No, when dealing with people who love to steal from those who have orders of magnitude less wealth than them and think it's funny when they starve, violence and revenge absolutely is the answer.

>>20175255
Be honest how many supermarkets are near you, not just "bodega"

>>20177417
hey you watch your dirty fucking mouth

>>20175123
Literally go back. You know exactly which people are doing the majority of shoplifting with impunity because companies don't dare stop them and would rather just pass the cost on to non criminals
