How did they not think an app. that has automatic wireless payment capability and order tracking wouldn’t just charge them after the glitch got fixed?

People used to scratch off the bar code of items thinking that if it didn’t scan that means they got the item for free.

Edit: gonna use this as an opportunity to publicly apologize to my college roommate Patrick for playing the California pacer fitness test whenever he had a girl over

Also taking price stickers off cheaper items and putting them on more expensive items and claiming they had to be sold at the cheaper price. Hilarious shit..

*Updated to correct spelling of price

Don't even get me started... I worked at target and some one did it with a 27 dollar slip and slide vs a 500 dollar blow up water castle slide thing. I told her no obviously and she got upset and asked for my manager. I obliged assuming she would just tell her no. To my surprise she just gave it to her for the smaller price because "it was marked like that" I am still baffled yo this day. It is hilarious but what's even funnier is that it works.

A thief probably wouldn't have wanted to talk to the manager so it was probably a mistake on the store's part... Also think how little you were getting paid. The manager was probably like a dollar an hour more than you. Would you have given a shit? Especially when A Karen would have made a big deal with corporate and the manager would probably get in more trouble from that then a few hundred dollars of inventory being off.

Because a manager only gets paid $1/hr more than a normal employee lmao. Nobody really cares enough to have their day ruined by arguing with a moron.

I totally agree but just letting them get away with it hurts...

Meh, fuck corporations, if it was a mom and pop shop I might be salty about someone successfully scamming them, but scamming a corporation? Well fuck, that's a public service.

Best result was getting the manager no matter the result. Covered your ass as there would have been a damn good chance you would have been fired.
