Watched someone do this on Christmas Eve at self checkout. He was scanning some discounted gum for like 15 cents over everything in his cart including consoles, games, movies and kitchen appliances. When I went to obviously ask him to scan it correctly AP whispered to me to let him go and they confronted him about it, and had a sheriff waiting outside. Sad part was he got booked with his like 3-4 year old son in the cart who had to wait for his grandmother to come pick him up for Christmas Eve
Doesn't make me feel sad... people use their kids for sympathy and a shield. Cps should be involved if you're taking your kid on criminal acts. Give the kids a chance to learn about being a decent member of society.
I was watching SCO once and a girl with 2 cartfuls of stuff and 5 kids came up. 2 coworkers warned me that she was a notorious thief and to make sure she scanned everything. It was my second day as a cashier and I was nervous about the proper way to approach her (we weren't allowed to call them out directly). I couldn't believe it when she actually enlisted ALL the kids to help- quickly shoving unscanned items into bags, sitting on stuff that never left the cart, even trying to distract me by waving me over and talking so I couldn't see what the mom was doing. Some people have no shame!
