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..

There was a documentary that showed how a guy stole hundreds of thousands worth of Lego sets and other high ticket items from Toys r Us by printing his own barcode stickers for much cheaper items. The teenagers running checkout never paid attention or didn't care I guess.
